Children are the key to addressing climate change and improving environmental health
The outgoing administration has been particularly hard on children. Notable examples include the inhumane family separation policy at the U.S.-Mexico border and the largely uncontrolled COVID-19 outbreak and associated school closures which are having profound impacts on our children's learning, socialization and mental health.
Less visibly, our children's health has also been harmed by the current administration's unprecedented actions to undermine environmental regulations and their enforcement. Over the last four years we have lost both time and ground protecting children from climate change, air and water pollution, toxic chemicals and other environmental threats.
