The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a scientific body convened by the United Nations, recently released a new report that takes an in-depth look at climate change mitigation and the possible pathw

We all have a role to play in addressing the inequities that can hamper our communities and lands in recovering from traumatic weather.

This year has brought much needed attention — and renewed commitments — to addressing climate change.

COP26 is getting mixed reviews following its conclusion this month. There are good reasons for that.

Like many sectors, the land trust community has come a long way in understanding the implications of climate change and rallying to prepare for and help mitigate associated threats.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a scientific body convened by the United Nations, last week released a major new climate assessment.

Climate change intertwined with the alarming loss of biodiversity we are tracking today represent some of the gravest challenges we face as a society.

It's been mentioned before, but it still rings true: Land trusts are well positioned to lead in mitigating the impacts of climate change and helping their communities adapt.

We all have a role to play in addressing the climate crisis and the inequities that can hamper the ability of our communities and our lands to recover from such trauma.

Land trusts are increasingly thinking about climate change — and how they can be part of the solution.

Climate change has — and will — play an increasing role in the decline of ecosystems and our natural environment. Some may say this is an unfortunate-but-unavoidable consequence of human economic development.

This hasn't exactly been the best year ever.

This fall, the Land Trust Alliance's Land and Climate Program is providing new trainings for land trusts to learn to adapt to and mitigate climate change.

For many of us, stay-at-home orders have resulted in more time with our children and a renewed focus on the natural world. That makes now the perfect time to talk to your kids about climate change.

Earlier this month, a small Siberian town in Russia hit a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The average high temperature there in June is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

While they might seem unrelated, the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis share many key similarities.

The most recent U.S. Sea-Level Report Card from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science shows the pace of sea-level rise is accelerating. Of the 32 included tide-gauge stations along the U.S. coastline, 25 showed water levels rising at a faster rate in 2019 than in 2018.

National Geographic posted a blog over the weekend titled The Decade We Finally Woke Up to Climate Change. Is that an accurate headline? I think so.

Rally 2019: The National Land Conservation Conference was explicitly framed by two important and intertwined themes: inclusion and climate change.

It's official: Last month was the Earth's hottest month on record.

If you're concerned about climate change and your own carbon footprint — but you aren't quite ready to give up that summer flight away — I have some good news.

My position with the Land Trust Alliance's Land and Climate Program affords me opportunities to talk about climate change with many different audiences. But even with all the experience under my belt, I struggle to discuss the issue with my children.

Is 2019 the year for climate action?

With so many new climate reports generating headlines, it will be harder for common climate myths to persist. But some myths die hard deaths.

Climate change is a big and complicated topic — so it's no wonder that many people find it difficult to discuss.

Rally is always a busy time for me and the land conservation community, but this year it was even more so. Because it came just days after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's special report.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, I'm struck by another challenge being exacerbated by the impacts of climate change. How do we connect people with nature when what it means to experience nature is changing before our eyes?

As summer heats up, so do our energy needs. And according to the Farmers' Almanac, this summer will be hot and steamy for most of the nation.

As the world's attention shifts Saturday to the royal wedding of the United Kingdom's Prince Harry and American actress Meghan Markle, I wanted to focus this column on the royal family!

Flooding and sea-level rise are among the most visible and disruptive impacts of climate change.

Time and time again, I am reminded that the decisions we make regarding the land can make or break our fight against climate change. In the United States, we're fortunate to have the freedom to both make and influence those decisions.

With the Olympic Winter Games in full swing, it's hard not to think about our changing climate.

Extreme weather. Our delicate ecosystem. Cause for hope.

Land trusts are in the business of protecting and managing land. That's what makes them ideally positioned to take on a larger role in mitigating — as well as preparing for the effects of — a changing climate.
