The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI), U.S. Nature4Climate, and the Bipartisan Policy Center invite you to a briefing on natural climate solutions, which leverage natural processes—like those in forests, grasslands, soils, and wetlands—to reduce carbon emissions, sequester carbon, and bring new income and employment opportunities to rural America. Natural climate solutions as a whole are a widely popular strategy to address climate change, with 92% of people across the political spectrum in support of their implementation.

This briefing will explore the federal role in maximizing the benefits of natural climate solutions. The panel will convene experts studying natural climate solutions and practitioners implementing programs supported by federal agencies. These panelists will discuss what is working, what we are still learning, and what the next phase of natural climate solutions policy and implementation looks like to support the long-term productivity and resilience of America’s natural and working lands and the prosperity of rural communities.
