New Jersey Democrats recognize climate change as an existential threat from the shore to our marshes, forests, and farmland. We are committed to reducing fossil fuel dependence, expanding renewable energy, and protecting residents from its impacts.

How New Jersey Democrats Have Delivered: 

• Fought and voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, the largest climate legislation in U.S. history, that increases investments in renewable energy, enhances energy efficiency, and will drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions for New Jersey residents.

• Created incentives for New Jersey households and businesses to switch to electric vehicles and adopt wind, solar, and other renewable energy technologies.

• Created a goal of 100% clean electricity sales by 2050, with Democrats advancing that target to 2035.

• Made New Jersey the first state in the nation to incorporate climate change education, across K-12.

What New Jersey Democrats Are Fighting For:

• Prioritize a clean energy economy with increased investment in green jobs, creating employment opportunities while transitioning to renewable energy sources.

• Support New Jerseyans affected by climate change’s impact on weather, shorelines, and ecosystems.

• Preserve open spaces and protect natural areas.
