Finding Common Ground through Climate Conflict
As in any conflict, there are two perspectives that compete. Adding vigorous communication to the conflict between environmental justice groups and cap and trade supporters—groups with, lets admit it, much commonality in their goals—may be the first step to achieving real collaboration.

Opportunities for Business in Fighting Climate Change

Making Land Sector Carbon Emission Reductions Pay
The U.S. forest sector currently sequesters the equivalent of as much as 14% of the total CO2 emitted by the U.S. each year. This service is largely viewed as a co-benefit to everything else forests provide—clean water and clean air, wildlife habitat, recreation, human health benefits, energy, and materials. That we will continue to benefit from these sequestration and carbon storage services is not guaranteed.
