In its first year, it will create jobs for 20,000 young people in work to fight the climate crisis, expand access to nature, and clean up pollution. What do jobs in the growing green economy look like? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=86954af0414cd17922510ffd4f42cbba2e7d0a3ef0ea8ebddf9d52c2d9b7719315d4bca313310fe7085a9f02766c8ea2f8cb8c0e0f 36eaf6> Take Action <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=86954af0414cd179aba285a38730251ba992a52693616feff62f3c326ef8d6816f9fa1ba0c58eb065ebf61cfed2b0ee3b500033ae080302b9970730730a4979a> Danielle Brigida/USFWS | Caribou at Hulahula River in the Arctic Refuge Protecting the Arctic Isn't Over <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=86954af0414cd179d2a2413c6897e6fd0f8d9de74d6180b92ab7d5bc65206d5396763c393f3267e6ee5f8937f6c74cbc72bfb967326b694e> In September, the Biden administration canceled all existing oil and gas drilling leases in the Arctic Refuge. This is a huge win, but our work isn't finished. It's only a matter of time before the oil and gas industry tries again. We need permanent protections to preserve these lands and waters.

Let's use this example to prioritize electric cars and buses that don't pollute our air and climate nationwide.

The window is closing for bold climate action. But that’s where you come in: Supporting the Sierra Club ensures that we can continue working in state and federal courts to protect our country’s bedrock environmental laws, champion clean energy solutions to the climate crisis, defend communities from air and water pollution, and provide equitable access to the outdoors. Make a gift today to build a better, sustainable future for all. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=86954af0414cd179d1f5c771a2837834f3e32b76d5ce60b31f7296d39f73f2f345314bcca8c888909ad95504a40c7b 518306edf7201502f76162da83b9968120> The Latest from Sierra Magazine <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=86954af0414cd179b7fa6ea16d92c5e6c5d9744f4d8ea48047652835d82984c588c783963439d304cc8bd943096345292d4553594734c3ca> A coal fired power plant in Nitro, West Virginia.

Breaching 1.5°C does not mean the planet would stay there, but "whether or not we can get to net zero and remove enough carbon from the atmosphere to bring temperatures back down by the end of the century is very much an open question and would involve a huge amount of political will."
