[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

Our state is moving forward as a national leader on climate, despite a federal government that seems hellbent on rolling back every ounce of progress.

I appreciate Mayor Wilson and the attendees at the launch of PNW Climate Week today. What's happening in DC isn't stopping us.

🔥The cost of climate disasters is skyrocketing. With insurers pulling out of high-risk areas, thousands of homeowners are left without coverage. EDF’s Dr. Kousky joins @Marketplace 's How We Survive to unpack what’s next for insurance and resilience. 🎧 https://t.co/JYGUgUsuOO

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

In July, California’s biggest insurance company stopped providing home insurance to more than a thousand homeowners in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. Now, the catastrophe that residents, insurers and regulators feared has come to pass. https://t.co/28jNgRiRdA

This single solar farm is expected to supply 7% of LA’s electricity when fully operational, in keeping w/ the city’s goal of 98% climate-friendly electricity by decade’s end & 100% by 2035. But the farm’s battery banks are its “most consequential” feature. https://t.co/exuJ6y9bT7

The clock is ticking and negotiators still haven’t reached a deal on a new climate finance goal. Our @jhoffmaister says “the frustration is palpable” with just 3 days left to decide how much money wealthy nations will give, in what form, and who will pay.

Can't believe we have to say this, but Matt Gaetz is a VERY BAD choice for Attorney General. On top of...everything else he tried to abolish the EPA. And if you’re not old enough to remember what America was like before the EPA here ya go👇🏾🤢

🌊 Major flooding events are on the rise but flood insurance can be hard to come by. Our Carolyn Kousky joined NPR's @planetmoney to explain why the National Flood Insurance Program is struggling to stay afloat—and what it means for communities. 👂🏿 now: https://t.co/35yTeg9uWz

🌍 The UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2024 shows current climate pledges only cut emissions by 4-10% below 2019 levels by 2030—far short of the 42% needed to reach 1.5°C. But there’s hope! Here's how we can close the gap👇 https://t.co/N57XoHjyzH

“How can we get fast and flexible dollars to these households in need after a big flood event?” – Carolyn Kousky. Our NYC insurance pilot aims to do just that, offering quick, community-based support after major floods. https://t.co/b2AoIf4Mnu #InsuranceInnovation #Resilience

As #COP16Colombia approaches, biodiversity is on our mind. We can (and should!) support 🌊both🌊 fishing communities and #biodiversity. Take a look at this example from Indonesia’s new Way Kambas Marine Protected Area 👉 https://t.co/aGQMTHReQq @EDF_Indonesia @EnvDefenseFund

With the U.S. flood insurance system under strain, EDF's Dr. Carolyn Kousky reminds us: "I don’t think we’re appreciating how much flood risk is changing over time and how quickly... And we’re certainly not talking to people about it." But there are 3 things we can do 👂🏿

[EDF @EnvDefenseFund]

Everyone should get the help they need to recover after a disaster. Here’s a guide to navigating the federal aid process.

As unnatural disasters become our new normal, we must leverage every tool we have.

Next week's UN biodiversity summit offers a can't-miss opportunity for action: By conserving and restoring nature, we can secure a livable climate for generations to come. https://t.co/zR6jao2gTC

@Sustainablensoc @COP16Oficial Hi Amy! Would love to connect you with some Environmental Defense Fund experts who are going to Cali and are closely following discussions on biodiversity and climate solutions at COP16. Please shoot me a DM and I can share more details. 🌳🌊🇨🇴

"We know lack of insurance can widen inequality post-disaster.” Many people hit by Helene never thought they’d need flood insurance, but climate change is causing unnatural disasters. As our Carolyn Kousky says, “This storm again stresses how important it is to fill the gaps.”

[EDF @EnvDefenseFund]

Climate Week NYC is coming to a close. But we’re not slowing down one bit! 💪🏿 The next year is FULL of pivotal moments for climate action. Our Christopher Dekki explains what we’ll be up to between now and COP30 in Brazil.
