Evidence
Forests
Healthy forests store carbon, regulate our climate, and help limit future warming.
Agricultural Lands
Croplands, grasslands, and rangelands produce food, store carbon, and support healthier ecosystems.
Climate Change 101
The fundamentals of climate change, what’s driving it, and why it matters.
Freshwater & Wetlands
Rivers and wetlands play a vital role in storing carbon, supporting ecosystems, and protecting communities.
Permafrost
Frozen ground holds vast amounts of carbon that can be released as the planet warms.
Impacts
Extreme Heat
Rising temperatures put our health, work, and daily lives under greater strain.
Wildfires
What’s driving worsening wildfires, where the danger is growing, and what’s at risk.
Drought & Water Scarcity
Water shortages affect farms, food supplies, communities, economies, and ecosystems.
Flooding & Sea Level Rise
Where flooding threatens homes, livelihoods, and critical infrastructure, and what communities can do to adapt.
Permafrost Thaw
As frozen ground thaws, it releases carbon and puts Arctic communities and infrastructure at risk.
Crop Loss & Food Insecurity
The effects of heat, drought, and shifting rainfall on crops and the global food chain.
Air & Water Pollution
What enters our air and water can travel far beyond its source, affecting ecosystems and human health.
