Natural Climate Solutions offer a pathway to achieving broad bipartisan climate action while providing critical benefits such as improving air and water quality, enhancing soil health, and protecting communities from extreme weather events. As we face increasing climate challenges, the urgency to implement these solutions has never been greater. Next month at NY Climate Week, we will discuss how to leverage the widespread support for Natural Climate Solutions to scale up U.S. efforts and meet our climate goals. We invite you to join us in this crucial conversation and explore actionable steps we can take together. RSVP details to come! In the meantime, delve into the poll memo from our recent survey to understand the strong and growing public support for Natural Climate Solutions: https://nature.ly/3MsgHlq #NaturalClimateSolutions #ClimateWeekNYC #ClimateAction

Did you know that trees play a significant role in the distribution of extreme heat impacts in our cities? A recent study by TNC scientists has shed light on this issue. Here are some key findings: 🏘️ Unequal Tree Distribution: Neighborhoods predominantly inhabited by white residents have more trees, providing better cooling and health benefits compared to areas where people of color (POC) reside. 🏥Health Impact: Each year, POC neighborhoods experience on average nearly 200 more deaths and 30,000 more doctors’ visits than would be the case if they had the tree cover of a typical white neighborhood. 🌡️The Power of Planting Trees: The team found that planting 1.2 billion trees could lower summer temperatures, prevent heat-related deaths and illnesses, save electricity, and absorb CO2. 💰Benefits Outweigh Costs: In majority POC neighborhoods, the health and environmental benefits of planting trees would outweigh the costs. To read more about the team’s finding check out the full paper here https://nature.ly/3AiHnlW #TreeEquity #ClimateJustice #UrbanHeat Robert McDonald, Ph.D., Tanushree Biswas, Tirthankar "TC" Chakraborty, Timm Kroeger, Ph.D., Susan Cook-Patton, Ph.D., Joe Fargione

Natural Climate Solutions stand out as a unifying force in a landscape often marked by division among American voters. A recent national survey commissioned by USN4C reveals overwhelming support across party lines: 99% of Democrats, 94% of Independents, and 89% of Republicans back the expanded implementation of initiatives like 🔥 post-fire reforestation 🌲 and coastal restoration 🌊 .

States are making strides in assessing coastal wetlands to reduce climate pollution. These efforts are crucial for leveraging natural carbon sinks and protecting our coastlines. Learn more in this new article by one of our members! #ClimateAction #NaturalClimateSolutions #BlueCarbon
While nothing will slow climate change faster than reducing greenhouse gas emissions, boosting blue carbon—the carbon captured by seagrasses and salt marshes—can make a difference. https://pew.org/3Z0CfND 📸 Cameron Davidson Smithsonian Environmental Research Center

“I always say conservation … truly, it saved my soul. It’s part of my heritage and part of my faith. I feel a big responsibility of sharing that and helping others. That’s all I have left to offer in life.” From a young boy, Grant Victor remembers the lessons his grandfather taught him about caring for the land. The flourishing vista on his farm in Oklahoma is the reward for decades of patient work using regenerative agriculture and ranching practices. When he wanted to take his land stewardship to the next level, he turned to the Farm Bill which provided funding to drill wells, install fencing for rotational grazing that helps keep grasslands healthy and convert 600 acres of erosion-prone land to pasture stocked with native grasses. Now, he’s committed to teaching other farmers and ranchers how conservation can benefit them and their land. Read more on his story here: https://nature.ly/3Xed3lm
