Nature plays an immense role in every aspect of our lives and offers untapped solutions to some of our biggest challenges. President Biden is shining a spotlight on these powerful opportunities. In one of his earliest actions, he set the nation’s first ever conservation goal, respecting nature in its own right and recognizing nature’s critical role in the economy, national security, human health, equity, and the fight against climate change. On Earth Day, 2022, the President went even further, making protecting and restoring nature and using nature-based solutions a core tenant of our national policy. Executive Order 14072, Strengthening the Nation’s Forests, Communities, and Local Economies, directed this team to “submit a report to the National Climate Task Force to identify key opportunities for greater deployment of nature-based solutions across the Federal Government, including through potential policy, guidance, and program changes.”
