California Environmental Voters is on its way to Canada, friend!

I’m excited to be joining EnviroVoters’ delegation in Montreal to discuss a once-in-a-decade plan to save life on Earth. 

California is an official observer of the COP15 United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, making it the only U.S. state in participation. That’s how important California is as a leader in local and global biodiversity and conservation efforts. 

There’s no denying that the climate crisis is deeply intertwined with the nature crisis and the Golden State plays a crucial role in promoting biodiversity preservation and restoration as a tool to address our climate challenge. 

California is addressing our biodiversity crisis through 30x30 — conserving 30% of our lands and water by 2030. No national government, member-state of the UN, or party to the Convention has done more to preserve their own or the world’s land than California.

Friend, I encourage you to follow @EnviroVoters on social media as we share a behind-the-scenes look at this critical UN conference and uplift our first-in-the-world 30x30 model:

Despite its global environmental leadership, California still has an uncompleted responsibility to restore its wild lands as part of a broader strategy to mitigate and eventually reverse the climate disaster.

California’s lack of biodiversity lens in land use and development planning are key drivers of biodiversity loss that has wrecked ecosystems resulting in the loss of 90% of our coastal wetlands and inland wetlands, 99% of our riparian areas, and most of our native grasslands. 

Reversing this damage requires careful, strategic, and thoughtful land use planning that better incorporates biodiversity, as well as massive investments to restore and protect natural ecosystems. These will not only act as buffers to the impacts of climate change but also ensure humans’ survival as a species. 

EnviroVoters envisions a future of healthy natural and human communities thriving together. Together, through engagement and collaboration, we are uniting to protect California — and the world — for generations to come.

Join us on social media as we take our mission north and let you in on what climate action is happening at a global scale!

See you online!
