Scientists and policymakers agree that the Bay Area needs 100,000 acres of tidal marsh to remain a healthy environment and properly prepare for sea level rise. For adequate wetland restoration and shoreline protection strategies, it will take around $110 billion in funding. Current funds are not enough to meet the restoration needs of the region, especially since the proposed state budget for this year slashes $450 million in sea level rise adaptation funding. The state needs a climate bond. Currently, legislators are working to pass a bond to raise billions for climate resilience in the state that could potentially show up on the 2024 ballot. To learn more about the current stages of the climate bond and who we support this upcoming year, check out our blog. https://lnkd.in/gfgDgTRP

Here is a useful and much needed guide to the opportunities available now! Please share broadly, and consider what may work for your organization.
📢OUT NOW: Guidebook to Ocean Climate Funding for Coastal Cities President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (#IRA) into law a year ago today, ushering in the single largest climate investment in history. As coastal climate impacts increase in severity and intensity, coastal cities can leverage unprecedented levels of funding from the IRA and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (#IIJA) to advance climate resilience and adaptation efforts. Our team has identified over $21.7 billion in IRA and IIJA funding available to coastal cities, and policymakers and project managers must act quickly in order to take advantage of these investments. To assist coastal cities in accessing funding, we’ve developed an easy-to-use directory of relevant IRA and IIJA programs that enable coastal cities to both adapt and become a part of the solution to the climate crisis.

7moYup, if you're a bond lawyer, the Bay Area "needs" a bond. The big thing is that lawyers need clients (with "spare change") and ambulance chasing and bank robbery never really go out of style...
