President Biden must fulfill his promise to ban new federal fossil fuel leasing. This crucial step is essential to protect our climate, lands, oceans, and communities from further harm.

The pollution from existing oil and gas fields already threatens to push global warming past 1.5 degrees Celsius. We cannot afford any new leasing, making public lands and waters the ideal place for the President to take immediate, bold action against fossil fuel expansion.

Pollution from existing oil and gas fields alone, if fully developed, risks pushing global warming past 1.5 degrees Celsius. We cannot afford any new leasing. Public lands and waters offer the natural and immediate opportunity for President Biden to take bold action and end fossil fuel expansion.
