Taking the Lead on Climate Change for the First Time
Posted by Carol Browner
Today, I joined the President on his trip to the United Nations Climate Change Summit, where President Obama called on leaders from around the world to come together in pursuing policies that allow economies to grow without endangering out planet. The President delivered a message of international unity because no nation – regardless of size or wealth – can escape the impacts of climate change.
As President Obama said today, rising sea levels threaten every coastline; threats like more powerful storms and floods, more frequent droughts and hunger are challenges that know no borders.

The time we have to reverse this tide is running out. But I am confident that we can reverse it.
And no administration in the history of the United States has done more to promote clean energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in eight months than this one.
From making the largest-ever investment in renewable energy to investing billions to cut energy waste, and proposing for the first time ever a new national standard aimed at both increasing fuel economy and reducing greenhouse gas pollution for all new cars and trucks.
And most importantly, the House of Representatives passed an energy and climate bill in June that would finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy for American businesses and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We are looking forward to engaging with the Senate as they craft their legislation.
