Our Climate Strategy

Climate issues are bird issues, and renewable energy is one of the best ways we can help.

Bird species on the brink due to climate change

Birds are telling us to act on climate.

There is no path to stabilizing the climate without addressing biodiversity loss and dramatically changing how we produce electricity. ��Ĵ�ý believes that renewable energy and natural climate solutions have important roles to play in mitigating the impact of climate change—the single greatest threat to birds and other species.

How We Work, Where We Work

��Ĵ�ý supports common-sense solutions to reducing carbon emissions, including conserving and restoring forests, wetlands, and grasslands that provide important habitat for birds and serve as natural solutions for storing carbon, and investing in responsibly sited clean energy.

Birds and Clean Energy

The climate threat facing birds is urgent. To achieve a future where both people and wildlife thrive, ��Ĵ�ý is advocating for the rapid build out of clean energy and transmission. By advocating for responsible and community-centered planning, we can protect birds from the worst impacts of climate change while preserving the places we all need.

Natural Climate Solutions

Many of the places that serve as critical bird habitat also have the potential to absorb greenhouse gases and naturally store carbon. ��Ĵ�ý is working with partners to bring nature-based solutions and bird-friendly practices to these landscapes to achieve conservation and sustainable-development impacts at a significant scale.
