Every acre of land and mile of coast protected by The Nature Conservancy — and every state and nation where we work — will be affected by climate change.

The Conservancy's commitment to its mission compels us to act. Our science, reputation and experience call us to lead. The Conservancy will:

  • Advocate for climate policies that reduce emissions from all sectors;
  • Demonstrate and promote forest conservation and restoration as credible, cost-effective ways to reduce carbon emissions; and
  • Implement strategies to help natural and human communities adapt to a warming world.
