CCL's work will help meet America's Paris commitment
A recent study by the journal Science highlighted the policy areas that
need to be passed so that the United States reaches its Paris commitment
by 2050. The policy areas emphasized include the deployment of solar
panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles (EVs), trees, heat pumps,
insulation, and measures to significantly curb the emissions of other
potent greenhouse gases like methane. CCL's recent policy expansion

means that we're in a position to lower emissions in all of these key
areas.
CCL Research Coordinator Dana Nuccitelli summarized the journal's
findings in his latest blog post.
"CCL's advocacy efforts for a carbon price, building the clean energy
economy, and nature-based solutions are directed at precisely the
sectors and policies needed to meet America's Paris commitment," Dana
writes. "With such a rapid acceleration in emissions cuts needed in such
a short period of time, each component will be critical in meeting our
targets."

Grassroots: Connecting through wildlife stories
CCL's Wildlife Action Team recently completed a newsletter focused on
pollinators and climate change. The goal of the Wildlife Action Team is
to make more connections for CCL with wildlife-centered outreach by
fostering relationships with wildlife conservation groups across the
country.
This newsletter, titled Pollinators: The Baseline of a Symbiotic World,
includes stories about "pollinators, the role they play in ecosystems,
and the issues they have been facing due to climate change," explains
action team co-leader, Katherine Chang.
The full newsletter is available on the Wildlife Action Team's Community
page.
