Tell Us: Why Do You #ActOnClimate?

The effects of climate change can no longer be denied or ignored -- 2014 was the planet's warmest year recorded, and 14 of the 15 hottest years on record have happened this century.

Climate change poses risks to our national security, our economy, and our public health. The President has already taken steps to address climate change, but there's more that the United States and the international community can do. And every single one of us has an important part to play.

If you're taking steps to protect our climate, share with us why this issue is important to you -- and join the conversation online using #ActOnClimate on your social media channels.
