In June, 1969, National Affairs and Legislation (NAL) Committee was established as a separate entity from the Conservation Committee to
"bring to the attention of the membership important legislative proposals in Washington which fall within the fields of our endeavor."
The theme of this year's conference was
Climate Change Solutions.
As Greta Thunberg stated so succinctly:
"The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have the facts and solutions. All we have to do is wake up and change.”
We learned about the GCA’s legislative priorities for 2021 which include:
- American Transportation and Infrastructure Act (ATIA) and the “Moving Forward Framework”
- The Native Plant Species Pilot Program
- Growing Climate Solutions Act
- Ocean Based Climate Solutions Act
- Trillion Trees and Nnatural Carbon Storage Act
Be sure to visit the NAL page of the GCA website to see all of the amazing presentations, with the solutions and innovations that are in the works, and to hear the fabulous talks given by the many excellent speakers, as well as an excellent reading list on this topic.
