ASK A SCIENTIST: How did a 100-hour weather and climate livestream move thousands to action? UCS’s Marc Alessi explains.

Secretary-General Guterres’ final speech to the UNGA calls us to fight the intergenerational injustice of climate change, where one generation is “consuming the future of the next.” His call to all of us working to make polluters pay: You are on the right side of history. Keep going. We will!

As the US Supreme Court considers Suncor v. Boulder—a key climate accountability case—documents obtained by the UCS reveal that some groups involved in the climate disinformation campaign at the heart of Boulder’s lawsuit are shopping legislation to shield the fossil fuel industry from liability.

Last week, the EPA held a hearing on its proposal to remove the agency’s authority to regulate the power sector’s heat-trapping emissions, which would be a massive blow to fighting climate change. Here’s UCS’s Rachel Cleetus’s testimony in that hearing:

Here are some ways you can act to promote health and safe environments for children today.

Centering children in environmental protection means paying special attention to pollutants that pose harm like lead, a neurotoxicant. It also means enacting policies that protect kids within their environments.

This volunteer network of independent public health experts is still waiting for EPA Administrator Zeldin to fulfill the administration’s promise to reinstate this committee so it can protect the nation’s kids.

For example, the EPA is home to a federal advisory committee that advises the agency on how to best protect kids from environmental health threats. But the committee hasn’t met in over a year.

By eliminating environmental protections that help keep kids safe, the Trump administration hasn't lived up to its MAHA promise to protect children.

Kids interact with the world differently than adults and protecting their environmental health requires specific intention and different strategies.

Today is International Children’s Environmental Health Day, which is a day of awareness and action bringing people together to create a healthier, safer, and more equitable world for all children.

As artificial intelligence booms, data centers have become a topic of concern for towns across the US. UCS’s Schneider Fellow, Riya Bathia, explores the public health impacts of these structures across the country.
