It is time for comprehensive climate and energy legislation that meets scientific standards to reduce global warming pollution and jumpstarts the transition to a sustainable energy future; creates pathways out of poverty through good, green jobs; and ensures that the most vulnerable communities around the world – those who contribute the least to the problem – are protected from the effects of climate change.
The Senate will debate climate and energy legislation this summer, and now is the time to focus our efforts on passing comprehensive and equitable legislation that protects ecological and human health.
As Jews, we are called to be good stewards of God’s earth and its natural resources, and to ensure that the most vulnerable among us can not only survive but better their lives. Comprehensive climate and energy policy, which ensures the continued health of our environment for future generations, and protects the poor from the effects of both climate change and new climate and energy policies, upholds both of these values.
