Forests Included As Natural Solution To One Of New Administration’s Top Priorities

January 6, 2021/0 Comments/in news-2021 /by Betsy Bates

When Joe Biden takes office in January, one of his top priorities will be climate change, which is likely to have a huge impact on forest policies.

On day one, Mr. Biden said he would take steps to have the U.S. rejoin the Paris Climate Accord.  He also plans to invest in green infrastructure, buildings, transportation, and renewable energy in order to put the U.S. on track to have net-zero emissions by 2050.  Forests are likely to play a critical role in climate mitigation strategies because of the ability of trees to capture and store carbon. 

The Biden Administration is also expected to revisit rules and regulations implemented under Trump, including Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS), the Endangered Species Act, and the Affordable Clean Energy Rule, all of which could impact forest landowners.
