Which states are the best and worst for climate change?

To calculate our index, we ranked each of the contiguous 48 states on several climate change-related factors. We then created a score out of 100 for each state based on these rankings. A higher score means a better outlook in a low or high-emissions future, and a lower score means a worse outlook.

Against Climate Change

We Can Do It!

TOGETHER WE CAN CREATE A CLEAN AND SECURE FUTURE

Along with our partner organizations we are reaching across the United States and Globally, not only for climate change developments, but also to create a sense of long-term awareness about climate change.

Climate change is already impacting all the things we love and cherish both in our own backyards and around the world. Right from our streets and parks, to our oceans, lakes and coastlines where migratory birds make their homes, the woodlands where we walk, to communities who are affected by extreme weather and extreme weather events in countries around the world.

Extreme climate change can be witnessed in increased flooding and droughts, summer heatwaves like the ones recently experienced here in the United States this year, and more unpredictable weather.

It is changing the seasons, upsetting crops and flowers, and disturbing the journeys of migrating birds. American-led studies also suggest that bumblebees can not move north to cope with warmer temperatures, and climate change is wiping them out in many areas where they lived several decades ago. Let’s come together and change the way we think, act and find solutions against climate change. For the future generations the Time Is Now – it’s time to act and create national awareness!

Help shape the future of our planet by contributing to USA Climate Change. 

Climate change is the global challenge of our time — and the time to act is now. Working in partnership with meteorologists, journalists, job expos and many others, we demonstrate how climate change is personal and relevant to our lives.

For your children, your brothers and sisters, your parents and grandparents and many more loved ones around you. Using localized scientific information, we show how climate change is happening here and now.

With your help, we can scale our work to reach more Americans, more often, with local stories that bring climate change home.

It will take all of us – working together – to make climate change the priority it must be in order to motivate effective decisions and actions.
