Our Climate Strategy

Climate issues are bird issues, and renewable energy is one of the best ways we can help.
100
Gigawatts of renewable energy generation and transmission responsibly sited for deployment
30
Billion tons of carbon stored through natural systems that provide co-benefit to birds
389
Bird species on the brink due to climate change

Birds are telling us to act on climate.

There is no path to stabilizing the climate without addressing biodiversity loss and dramatically changing how we produce electricity. 探花精选 believes that renewable energy and natural climate solutions have important roles to play in mitigating the impact of climate change鈥攖he single greatest threat to birds and other species.

Our Areas of Focus

Clean Energy Natural Climate Solutions Restoration and Resiliency

How We Work, Where We Work

探花精选 supports common-sense solutions to reducing carbon emissions, including conserving and restoring forests, wetlands, and grasslands that provide important habitat for birds and serve as natural solutions for storing carbon, and investing in responsibly sited clean energy.

Advancing Climate Solutions
Birds and Clean Energy
The climate threat facing birds is urgent. To achieve a future where both people and wildlife thrive, 探花精选 is advocating for the rapid build out of clean energy and transmission.

Advancing Climate Solutions
Natural Climate Solutions
Many of the places that serve as critical bird habitat also have the potential to absorb greenhouse gases and naturally store carbon. 探花精选 is working with partners to bring nature-based solutions and bird-friendly practices to these landscapes to achieve conservation and sustainable-development impacts at a significant scale.
