I love when research supports that we humans are more alike than we are different, and we cross party lines on the big issues. "Support for Implementing Natural Climate Solutions in the United States is Strong and Growing: A new national survey conducted by US Nature4Climate shows that voters across party lines support natural climate solutions more than ever. Unlike other issues that polarize American voters, Natural Climate Solutions are uniquely unifying. Voters largely reject criticism that Natural Climate Solutions are too expensive and distract from other priorities, recognizing the broad array of benefits they provide. The poll also indicates that voters feel more favorably toward Members of Congress who support these solutions. Voters also strongly support a diverse range of practices and policies to fund and implement NCS strategies, including reforestation, wildfire management, and the provision of incentives and technical support for farmers and forest owners keen on adopting climate-smart practices and feel favorably toward Members of Congress that support these solutions. In short, this poll underscores how much voters across all parties support Natural Climate Solutions to help people, nature, and the climate." by Nathan Henry, Director of U.S. Nature4Climate | August 7, 2024 Spend time listening to your neighbors and your community, and check out this link.https://https://lnkd.in/e8-SNYV4

Ever wonder how a big idea turns into real action? Here’s how bipartisan collaboration helped secure $100 million annually for reforestation (a Natural Climate Solution)—without raising taxes. In 2018, the U.S. Forest Service faced a crisis: millions of acres of National Forests were deforested by wildfires and other disturbances. Recognizing the urgency, Alix and her colleagues championed the REPLANT Act, securing $100 million annually for reforestation, thanks to a collaborative and bipartisan approach. “This is a story of how you go from a great idea that you don’t know how to do, and turn it into something bipartisan,” said Alexandra A. Murdoch, Esq., Senior Policy Advisor at The Nature Conservancy, during our #ClimateWeekNYC event. Curious how they accomplished this? 🔗 Read the full story and see how Natural Climate Solutions can unite diverse groups around shared benefits, making it a powerful tool for addressing climate change in a way that garners widespread support: https://lnkd.in/g7uvbgnw #NaturalClimateSolutions #REPLANTAct #ClimateAction

Big news! We just gave Tree Equity Score 'Reports' a major upgrade to a powerful, fully interactive toolkit called ‘Location Insights.’ Trees are essential for health and well-being--yet not everyone has the same access to trees and green spaces. American Forests’ Location Insights is your supercharged toolkit that will help you uncover fresh insights, interactions, never-before-seen canopy metrics to help you tell the story of your community. #TreeEquity means closing the canopy gap between neighborhoods. It's the idea that everyone should receive the vital benefits of trees: livable communities, cleaner air, lower utility costs and more recreational space. Location Insights’ planning tools can get you started re-imagining a cooler, greener, and more equitable future for your city. Special thanks to Google for providing nationwide tree canopy data--now available for download for the first time through Tree Equity Score Location Insights! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/dKpCwBH
Bipartisan support for Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) presents a unique opportunity for real climate action. Recent polling shows that voters—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike—overwhelmingly support funding NCS. From wildfire management to reforestation, these regionally tailored solutions offer policymakers the tools to create lasting environmental and economic benefits.

Land conservation is a cost-effective, high-impact solution to climate change. It can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve public health, among many other co-benefits. As Abigail Weinberg, Senior Director of Conservation Science & Planning at the Open Space Institute, states, “The report elevates land conservation to its rightful place as a critical climate solution and calls the entire conservation community to action. With new data and tools, we have what we need. The time to act is now.” Learn more about it in this article by Taj Schottland from Trust for Public Land: 👉https://nature.ly/3A3FtFI #NaturalClimateSolutions
