IN THE NEWS
Climate impacts and congressional action 🗞️
The hottest summer on record, Canadian wildfires, and more powerful
extreme weather events all dotted the headlines in 2023. But there was
good news too, and here are the highlights:
Greenbiz, "Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus is Back"

E&E News, "This House Republican May Hold the Keys..."
[link removed]
Washington Post, "A bipartisan plan to punish global climate laggards.
Tax them."

IN CONGRESS
Permitting reform is a hot topic ⚡️
Permitting reform has been the biggest climate conversation in this
Congress. It has the potential to reduce 2030 emissions by 12% per year
by making it easier to build new clean energy projects. Several
incremental solutions became law in August
[link removed]
, and we are building the groundwork for a large bipartisan permitting
reform package next year. We just briefed the House Climate Solutions
Caucus
[link removed]
- where 29 Republicans and 29 Democrats work together - on this vital
issue!
But that's not all
The Energy Innovation Act was reintroduced
The carbon pricing conversation is alive and well. Rep. Carbajal (D-CA)
introduced the Energy Innovation Act with an audience of our volunteers
in September. We're growing the popularity of this bill
[link removed]
, and any other good carbon pricing legislation, to make sure this
policy solution gets the traction for long-term viability.
The 2024 Farm Bill presents a big opportunity for forestry
The 2024 Farm bill is an opportunity that comes up every 5 years. We're
gearing up to include climate-smart forestry provisions by recruiting
co-sponsors for bipartisan legislation now.
We're chipping away with smaller, pragmatic climate wins
We've passed six bipartisan "supporting asks" in the last three years,
and we're keeping up a steady drumbeat of support for bills like the
PROVE IT Act

and the Increased TSP Access Act
