Here are four reasons I believe we\u2019re headed in the right direction:<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">1. America is tackling greenhouse gas pollution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The United States remains among the world\u2019s largest per-capita emitters of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping pollutants. But thanks to this year\u2019s action by the Environmental Protection Agency, America now has a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/blog\/2015\/08\/04\/clean-power-plan-ticket-top\">Clean Power Plan<\/a>\u00a0that will cut emissions from power plants, our single largest source of carbon, by 32 percent over the next 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>The era of unlimited climate pollution is over.<\/p>\n<p>On the heels of the EPA\u2019s Clean Power Plan came a proposed rule to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/climate\/epa-targets-natural-gas-pollution-why-it-matters\">cut methane<\/a>\u00a0from newly built facilities in the oil and gas industry. More needs to be done, but this is an important step in dealing with a potent greenhouse gas that accounts for 25 percent of Earth\u2019s current warming.<\/p>\n<p>These climate laws will help the U.S. meet our target to reduce emissions by 26-28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025, a commitment we made to the international community that is key to getting other large polluters to do their share.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll need further reductions, but this is a very significant start.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">2. China is building momentum for global action<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s No. 1 greenhouse gas emitter, China submitted its climate plan to the United Nations in June, confirming it will let emissions peak by 2030 \u2013 and possibly sooner. I know from my colleague Dan Dudek in China that \u201csooner\u201d is possible because this is a country that\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/blog\/2015\/02\/24\/how-i-know-china-serious-about-climate-action\">serious about climate action<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pollution is choking Chinese cities and threatening economic growth, but the country\u2019s leaders also see opportunity in the emerging clean energy industry. China has pledged to have 20 percent of its energy come from wind, solar and other non-fossil energy sources within 15 years \u2013 a massive investment in a nation of 1.4 billion.<\/p>\n<p>This year alone, China is expected\u00a0to add 18 gigawatts of new solar capacity. By comparison, the U.S. recently surpassed 20 gigawatts total.<\/p>\n<p>To have China and the U.S. making such significant commitments has transformed the dynamic going into the U.N. climate summit in Paris. Instead of making excuses for inaction, the leading emitters have launched a virtuous cycle of increasing ambition.<\/p>\n<p>That changes everything.<\/p>\n<p>[Tweet &#8220;4 undeniable signs we&#8217;re making progress on #ClimateChange edf.org\/fN5&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">3. Clean energy is lifting people out of poverty<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One billion people worldwide still have no energy, and more than 1 billion live in extreme poverty. Turning the corner on climate cannot mean that economies can\u2019t develop.<\/p>\n<p>But just as some developing economies adopted cellular technology without ever having land lines, some will leap-frog the dirty energy phase of economic development and go straight to clean.<\/p>\n<p>In fiscal 2014, the World Bank more than doubled lending for renewable energy projects to nearly $3.6 billion \u2013 or 38 percent of its total energy lending.<\/p>\n<p>As Rachel Kyte, the bank\u2019s vice president and special envoy for climate change, recently said, what poverty-stricken people of the world need now is a \u201ca low-carbon revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And this is starting to happen. In 2014, the emerging economies of China, India, Brazil and South Africa invested $131 billion in clean energy, just 6 percent less than the developed world did.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">4. Pope Francis is galvanizing world opinion\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Pope Francis released his much-anticipated encyclical on environmental stewardship in June, he made an urgent moral appeal to the world.<\/p>\n<p>As my colleague Paul Stinson\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/blog\/2015\/06\/19\/common-goals-pope-and-clean-energy\">noted at the time<\/a>, \u201cA leading voice without political boundaries, the pope has the ability to reach people who previously could not or would not face the reality of climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pope Francis\u00a0called on us to push harder to replace fossil fuel with renewable energy sources\u00a0\u2013\u00a0and people are listening.<\/p>\n<p>The day he speaks to Congress later this month, a climate rally is expected to draw many thousands to the nation\u2019s capital in a unified call for action. Environmental Defense Fund will be there, too.<\/p>\n<p>The momentum is growing.
