The Department of Agriculture recently announced $1.5 billion in funding for 92 landscape conservation and climate-smart agriculture projects across America. This is an important step towards mitigating climate change and protecting our environment. However, sustained funding is crucial to ensure the success of these vital initiatives. I urge Congress to maintain this level of financial commitment to environmental protection and climate action. The threats posed by climate change demand a robust and unwavering response from our leaders. Allocating consistent funding for conservation efforts, sustainable agriculture practices, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential to safeguarding our planet for future generations. The recent USDA funding demonstrates a recognition of this pressing issue, but continued support is necessary to effect real, lasting change. I implore you to prioritize the environment and climate action by approving funding that matches the urgency of this crisis. Our world depends on bold, proactive steps to confront climate change head-on. Thank you for your consideration.
