CCL gives input to USDA on climate-smart agriculture
In last year's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Congress included about
$20 billion earmarked for natural climate solutions. The United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) is responsible for deciding how those
funds should be allocated to meet the climate goals outlined in the IRA,
which include projects that will "reduce, capture, avoid, or sequester
carbon dioxide" in American forests and farms.
Eagle-eyed CCL volunteer Matthew Mayers noticed USDA requested public
input regarding how to achieve those goals in practice, and CCL staff
jumped on the opportunity to provide comments related to our healthy
forests policy agenda.
CCL Research Coordinator Dana Nuccitelli chronicled CCL's contribution
to the USDA in his latest blog. Dana explains that, specifically, the
IRA funds were directed towards four existing conservation programs —
programs that the USDA was interested in learning more about in relation
to the IRA. You can read more about what Dana and CCL staffers
discovered on natural climate solutions and our recommendations to USDA
in the blog below.

CCL Chicago hosts chapter-building event
CCL's Chicago chapter held a chapter-building event on Jan. 20 that drew
about 30 people, half of whom were new to CCL.
The group came together at a Chicago incubator pub with a focus on
small-batch and experimental brewing to celebrate their 2022
accomplishments and set the stage for an even greener 2023.
"We wanted to kick off the new year with an in-person event to reconnect
with longtime supporters and welcome new ones," said CCL volunteer
Caroline Eichler, who organized the event with volunteers Sean Noonan
and Ryan Anderson. "Like our hosts, Pilot Project Brewing, we aim to
identify small, high-impact projects across our four focus areas that
will deliver strong climate policy in Chicago, Illinois, and beyond."
CCL Chicago has already activated local action teams that are hard at
work partnering with other organizations to build support for Healthy
Forests and Building Electrification and Efficiency.
