Congressional Climate Camps

The document outlines a briefing session from the Congressional Climate Camps series, which explores the intersection of carbon reduction, climate resilience, and social equity. It highlights specific thematic areas including coastal nature-based solutions, agricultural practices, mass timber for sustainable buildings, and the role of building codes in efficiency. The text presents a series of questions posed to experts from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Furman University, Vaagen Timbers, the New Buildings Institute, and the NAACP regarding the implementation and socio-economic impacts of these climate strategies.

• The Congressional Climate Camps briefing series aims to educate participants on the legislative process and identify policy opportunities for both near-term and long-term carbon reductions.
• The fourth session of the series focused on a set of climate solutions designed to simultaneously lower greenhouse gas emissions and improve resilience to climate impacts, while also supporting job creation, conservation, and environmental justice.
