Al Drago/Getty Images , a Vox reporting initiative on the science, politics, and economics of the biodiversity crisis. As President Joe Biden moves quickly to reinstate the full slate of environmental policies weakened by former President Donald Trump, including the landmark Migratory Bird Treaty Act, he’s signaling that climate change and biodiversity loss are now major priorities for the US. Earlier this month, the Interior Department also launched a campaign to conserve 30 percent of US land and water by 2030, joining more than 50 other countries that have committed to that goal. Biden is pursuing the target, known as 30 by 30, alongside a new and more ambitious commitment to cut carbon dioxide emissions.

Connecticut Climate Change Grant Program Encourages Nature-Based Infrastructure

chrishconnelly / Creative Commons A new state grant program is available to help fund tree planting and other projects that combat climate change in Connecticut. Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz announced the $1 million urban forestry grant program earlier this week alongside environmentalists and lawmakers. She also urged Connecticut residents to support the governor s bill on climate adaptation. The bill outlines state investment to build resilience to future storms and other infrastructure projects to safeguard against rising sea levels and climate-warming industry. Legislation drafted in the House is in alignment with President Joe Biden’s “build back better” priority to focus on “sustainable and resilient infrastructure investments.” If passed, the bill would provide funding options to cities and towns allowing them to charge a conveyance fee on property taxes and those funds would be allocated to climate adaptation efforts.

Conserve 30 percent of the Earth? The number is more about politics than science

Right now, in the conservation movement, a lot of people are fixated on a single number: 30. The US and more than 50 other countries have pledged to conserve 30 percent of their land and water by 2030 as a means to help thwart the biodiversity crisis. Biodiversity tends to increase with the area of land or water conserved, yet just 16 percent of global land is in protected areas today (in the US, it’s closer to 12 percent), according to the World Database on Protected Areas. Intact ecosystems also play a major role in mitigating climate change. As conservationists have recognized the importance of protecting rich ecosystems before they’re bulldozed, drained, deforested, or abandoned, “30 by 30” has become a rallying call for the movement’s most influential organizations, political leaders, and advocates.
