In the fight against climate change, Democratic AGs play a pivotal role in protecting our planet, people, and economy, while Republican AGs have continued to put ideology and partisan games over our health and economy.

Democratic AGs served as vital partners of the Biden-Harris Administration, building on the Dem AGs’ major victories to combat the climate crisis taken during the first Trump administration.

By immediately withdrawing from key international climate agreements and gutting green domestic policy, Trump’s second administration has already proven it has no interest in prioritizing this crisis. Nevertheless, state Attorneys General have a wide range of tools to address pollution and climate change. And as their state’s chief enforcers of state environmental laws, the work of Democratic AGs has never been more important.

Learn more about the work Democratic AGs are doing to make environmental justice a top priority and chip in here if you can help us elect AGs who continue to take bold climate actions.
