Campaign Updates

🗂️ Insurance Reform Now: The fight for climate-safe insurance just got a powerful spotlight. Green America’s Responsible Finance Campaigns Director, Cathy Cowan Becker, breaks down how big insurance companies are ditching disaster survivors, hiking rates, and investing billions in fossil fuels—all while turning record profits. Her new OtherWords op-ed highlights the urgent need for change and uplifts our Climate Smart Insurance Directory, connecting people to local and regional insurers that put communities and the climate first.

🌱 Summer Farm Tour: This June, Green America staff member, Taylor Herren, kicked off her annual Soil & Climate Initiative (SCI) Farm Tour to witness firsthand how hardworking farmers are healing the land with regenerative agriculture practices. At SCI, we believe in a farmer-first approach and there’s no better way to support regenerative practices than by truly listening and learning from those on the ground. Follow @soilclimateinitiative on Instagram for updates as Taylor travels through Tennessee, the Carolinas, Minnesota, Georgia, and beyond!

🧑‍🌾 SCI Verification 3.0: The farming revolution just got a major upgrade with Version 3.0 of Green America’s Soil & Climate Initiative (SCI) Verification Standard - our science-backed, farmer-designed regenerative agriculture framework that tracks real environmental impact. Built from insights across 160+ farms and 350,000+ acres, it’s raising the bar on trust and transparency from farm to shelf.

Green America Victory!

Thanks to opposition from Green America and our members joining with local and national allies, two industrial-sized biomass plants proposed for California were defeated in late June 2025! Learn more.
