The Biden Administration takes executive action today to tackle the climate crisis, create jobs, and restore scientific integrity across federal government. In reponse, Audubon Alaska has issued this statement. 

The new administration's commitment to climate reaffirms what is needed across Alaska: support for community resilience, clean energy infrastructure, and federal investment in new jobs, while protecting the ecosystems that are crucial to our survival. It is imperative that the new administration recognizes the importance of listening to communities who will be most impacted by climate change and its economic shifts.
