Happy 2024! We’re kicking off the new year with the biggest event Tree Action has held to date — a fireside chat with Dr. Phil Levin, Director of the National Nature Assessment at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

Dr. Levin is joining us on Wed Jan 17 to discuss:

• Why measuring nature matters
• How nature can help us fight climate change
• What “nature” means in an age of rapid urbanization

You’re invited!  

Nature, Trees and Climate Change

The National Nature Assessment was created by President Biden's Executive Order in 2022 to help us assess and understand the evolving state of nature in a climate changed world.

As part of the Tree Action community, you’re already well attuned to the contributions that our lands, waters, wildlife, and ecosystems make to our culture, economy, safety, public health and climate equilibrium.

The NNA is a deliberate taking stock of these contributions, with an explicit goal of identifying opportunities where nature can help us further. The NNA is an important baselining for governments, businesses, communities and leaders across sectors, and is expected to be completed in 2026.  We can’t value what we can’t measure, and the NNA is the first critical step.
