Infographic overlaid on a dense green forest background. It states: “Studies suggest there are 148 million acres of land suitable for reforestation across U.S., with the potential to capture an additional 535 million tons of carbon annually.” At the bottom, the source is listed as The Nature Conservancy. Tree and cloud icons accompany the text.

While we archive data to ensure their availability, we also situate data within their political and economic contexts to support good scientific practice and democratic knowledge production for environmental justice.

Since I haven't seen one yet, here's a starter pack of scientists actively working in the climate adaptation and resilience space, including researchers as well as climate service providers! 🌎🧪

Thanks Meade!!!

Stretch goals…

Just, wow.

Republicans mull fate of DOE loan program Some GOP lawmakers want to make sure Department of Energy financing supports all energy sources. Others want to kill the loan office altogether.

If the Trump administration wants to transform government into a leaner, more business-friendly operation, the DOE loan program is a great example of what to do MORE of, not less. Unlocking the power of American innovation and entrepreneurship takes public investment!

Great new interactive tool from USDA - Agriculture and Forestry Greenhouse Gas Inventory Data Viewer. Explore data on ag and forestry emissions/ sinks from 1990-present. Viewable by state, gas, and source, including livestock, cropland, forestry, and on-farm energy.

1000% correctamundo

No doubt. But a)all new practices are uncertain until researched and developed, and b) the counterfactual of hoping that the species can shift fast enough to track its climatic niche is also highly uncertain. This is why conservation is increasingly going to be a practice of change management.

What’s inspiring about California’s #joshuatree plan is that it combines better protections for today and a long term #climateadaptstion strategy that includes future range shifts. This is the way.

How can you tell they’re Large+ instead of regular Large?

Thanks Meade!

Commentary The Time is Right for a Forest Moonshot in the U.S. - Ecosystem Marketplace Here’s something unexpected: In the midst of a deeply polarizing election, Americans actually seem to agree on solutions to climate change. Recent research from USN4C found that an overwhelming, bipar...

Glad to have landed on Bluesky and am looking forward to meeting up with the Conservation + Climate community here!
Here’s a recent piece I wrote on the #Forests4Climate moonshot we need in the U.S.

Really appreciate how the 1st National Nature Assessment is incorporating such a wide range of voices and ways of knowing, including the arts and cultural sector.

Oops - should have tagged them!

Environmental Data & Governance Initiative – Environmental Data and Governance Initiative Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI) analyzes federal environmental data, websites, institutions, and policy.

Great story about how National Park Service is switching to #ClimateSmart reforestation, making sure that resilience and adaptation are the basis for land management.
