As we continue to see the effects of climate change globally through drought, fires, floods and other weather-related disasters, it is crucial that President Biden and the U.S. lead by example by taking bold pro-climate actions and making serious and ambitious investments to reduce our carbon emissions.

The climate provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are a step in meeting the commitments we have made to the global community, and now it is time to do even more. This is why we, as people of faith and conscience, are sending a petition to President Biden to urge him to uphold our moral responsibility to care for our Sacred Earth at COP27.
