Legislation advancing fossil fuel infrastructure increases harm and undermines climate goals. | The Gas Modernization Act in New Jersey directly undermines climate action (SDG 13) and urban sustainability (SDG 11) by promoting fossil fuel infrastructure. It also poses health risks to residents, particularly children, violating fundamental rights to a safe environment and health. The magnitude of harm is significant due to the scale of pollution and long-term lock-in effects.
