Date/Time: Thursday, May 16, 2024 at 1:00 PM ET 

Join us for a webinar exploring the pivotal role of the land sector in advancing U.S. climate goals and realizing substantial benefits for our communities and ecosystems. Rooted in new findings that the U.S. land sector can achieve 70% emissions reductions by 2035 compared to 2021 levels, the speakers of this webinar will discuss how we can achieve these reductions through critical action across our diverse U.S. lands—from farmlands to forests, parks to urban rooftops, grasslands, and more. Policy experts, practitioners, and analysts will delve into innovative solutions and policy strategies from across the country and address opportunities to enhance ambition from federal and non-federal actors to maximize the potential of the U.S. land sector.
