Forest-Climate Working Group

The Forest-Climate Working Group is the nation's only sector-wide coalition working to advance forests as a climate change solution.

Climate Strategy Listening and Learning Sessions

States in the U.S. play a vital role in delivering land-based climate solutions, given that natural and working land captures and safely stores 14 percent of U.S. carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels. That’s why teams from the U.S. Climate Alliance states participated in four regional Learning Labs last fall. And it’s why FCWG members will meet in Washington, DC March 4-5. Details about this event will be posted here soon

14% Emissions Reduction

Forests sequester more than 14% of U.S. carbon emissions.
