With the passage of AB 1757 (C. Garcia) in 2022, California committed to accelerating nature-based solutions to combat the climate crisis on a scale the United States has not yet seen. With 81 targets now in place, what happens next? What is needed from the public, private, and philanthropic sectors to achieve these targets? In this panel discussion, you will hear about the building blocks needed to scale up the implementation of nature-based solutions on California’s lands and waters — from diversified funding and cutting the green tape to strategic partnerships and technical assistance.
