Publicly Owned Energy - Move toward nationalized renewable energy production and phase out fossil fuels.
Ban Private Water Corporations - Ensure clean, publicly managed water as a human right.
Climate & Environmental Protection
Combat Climate Change & Pollution - Implement strict emissions regulations, hold polluters accountable, and transition to renewables.
Expand Conservation Efforts - Increase funding for national parks, reforestation, and Indigenous-led land conservation.
Ban Corporate Water & Land Exploitation - End private ownership of public water resources and prevent corporate monopolization of land.
Climate Obligations
The Labor Party is committed to rejoining the Paris Climate Accords and fully upholding its obligations. However, we recognize that the current global framework is insufficient to address the accelerating climate crisis. We will advocate for a more assertive, more aggressive international approach to environmental protection by presenting a new global climate action strategy to the United Nations:
This strategy will focus on:
More substantial Emissions Reductions - Pushing for binding international agreements with more ambitious carbon reduction targets beyond the Paris Agreement.
Corporate Accountability - Establishing enforceable global penalties for multinational corporations engaging in environmental destruction, deforestation, and pollution.
Climate Justice & Reparations - Securing international commitments for financial assistance to nations disproportionately affected by climate change, particularly in the Global South.
Ban on Ecological Exploitation - Advocating for global restrictions on deep-sea mining, deforestation, and the privatization of essential natural resources such as water.
Enforcement & Compliance Mechanisms - Strengthening UN-backed oversight bodies to ensure all nations meet their climate commitments with real consequences for non-compliance.
The Labor Party will lead efforts to mobilize international cooperation on climate action, ensuring that the United States is a participant and a driving force behind a bold, enforceable global environmental framework that prioritizes sustainability, justice, and long-term planetary health.
