The U.S. Climate Alliance is a bipartisan coalition of governors securing America’s net-zero future by advancing state-led, high-impact climate action.
Launched in 2017 by the governors of Washington, New York, and California, the Alliance now includes governors from 24 states and territories, representing approximately 55% of the U.S. population, and 60% of the U.S. economy.
Reducing collective net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at least 26-28% by 2025 and 50-52% by 2030, both below 2005 levels, and collectively achieving overall net-zero GHG emissions as soon as practicable, and no later than 2050.
Accelerating new and existing policies to reduce climate pollution, build resilience to the impacts of climate change, and promote clean energy deployment at the state and federal levels.
Centering equity, environmental justice, and a just economic transition in their efforts to achieve their climate goals and create high-quality jobs.
Tracking and reporting progress to the global community in appropriate settings, including when the world convenes to take stock of the Paris Agreement.
Housed at the United Nations Foundation, the Alliance Secretariat is led by a team of climate experts that supports coalition members through:
Facilitating state-to-state collaboration and exchange across sectors.
Providing technical expertise and capacity support.
Developing and sharing resources and analyses.
Forging partnerships to advance action across government.
