Climate change has pushed our oceans to the brink—but the ocean can also be a key part of our solution to the climate crisis. I’m proud to be one of the original co-sponsors of the Green New Deal to fight the climate crisis, and today, I’m sharing my plan for a #BlueNewDeal to protect and restore our oceans and make them a part of the climate solution.
Our oceans already support millions of jobs, and by restoring our oceans and rebuilding our blue economy, we can create good,... high-paying union jobs, and fight climate change. I’ll protect and restore our ocean habitats to make our oceans part of the climate solution. On day one of my presidency, I'll end all new fossil fuel leases offshore and on public lands. And then I’ll go further by phasing out all existing offshore drilling.
Finally, we must mitigate the damage that has already been done as a result of climate change—and prepare for sea level rise, storm surges, droughts, and extreme weather events. Disaster assistance must be distributed equitably, and my administration will ensure that vulnerable populations get the help they need.
The future of our planet depends on a healthy ocean—and we don’t have time to waste. Read and share my plan for a #BlueNewDeal.
Climate change is an existential threat—and our coastal communities are particularly at risk as sea levels rise and storms get stronger and more destructive. The ocean must be a part of the climate solution. That's why I've got a plan for a #BlueNewDeal.
