CSE works to speed the transition to a sustainable society through rigorous analysis of policy, programs, and projects, & by developing creative solutions.

New research finds that logging is a major source of GHG emissions that is currently not regulated by any policy. A forest carbon tax and reward program can fill this gap and generate hundreds of millions for climate adaptation and climate smart forestry.

@USProgressives in Congress need to step in and lead the fight to end deforestation and forest degradation in the US. Help fight Big Timber's lies and deceptions. https://t.co/R0TPGAMnnV

[Center for Sustainable Economy @csesustainable]

Deforestation and forest degradation are rampant in the US. Time for Congress to intervene https://t.co/LgSEM0KFuy

@NACoTweets All counties should consider implementing fossil fuel risk bond programs to disincentivize new fossil fuel infrastructure and generate funds for climate adaptation. Take a look at our new report highlighting successes of this policy mechanism. https://t.co/YPqBaSrLsm

[Center for Sustainable Economy @csesustainable]

@theUSDN Urban Sustainability Directors take note: Fossil Fuel Risk Bond programs can be implemented by cities and counties to protect public coffers from the financial and economic costs of fossil fuel infrastructure and climate change. https://t.co/YPqBaSrLsm

@ICLEI sustainability leaders: Fossil Fuel Risk Bond Programs can fund climate adaptation, disincentivize new fossil fuel infrastructure and begin to shift the financial costs of accidents, spills, explosions and abandonment onto polluters. https://t.co/YPqBaSrLsm

As feared, IRA and infrastructure funding are being used to subsidize Big Timber and ecologically disastrous "salvage" logging - $50 million for this one project alone: https://t.co/UhQAGwnCmR

[Center for Sustainable Economy @csesustainable]

Fossil fuel risk bond programs are moving forward in the Pacific Northwest. Congratulations to King County for nearing the finish line on regulations that require all new FF infrastructure to be fully bonded against accidents and abandonment: https://t.co/3IbPqaheKU

The parade of studies documenting the enormous climate impacts of industrial logging continues. Great new report from Nature Canada and NRDC: https://t.co/TaAqnXVjtD

[Center for Sustainable Economy @csesustainable]

Excellent article by Paul Koberstein and Jessica Applegate taking on Washington DNR and Governor Inslee for shielding Big Timber from climate regulation: https://t.co/ocMHQGkI3K

Methane removal and climate restoration should be urgent priorities for climate action. https://t.co/e0on3bqF1T

Exposed! The Nature Conservancy falsely promotes logging as a #climate solution. Stop #greenwashing the #forest industry! https://t.co/IIT0zpyVru

Chile hosts the world 2nd largest temperate #rainforest, threatened by #timber conflict plantations to supply the paper industry, with heavy social impacts on Indigenous people and on land and water resources.

We need clean air & water, a safe climate, and healthy and just communities for all. With
new support from @Mosaic_Momentum, our organization can double down on our work
to protect forests, our communities and planet https://t.co/GNkfvumafk

As @RBReich said in 2014, "GDP growth is less and less relevant to the wellbeing of most Americans." Rep. @Ilhan Omar's GPI Act of 2021 will at long last begin the process of dethroning GDP and putting in place an economic performance measure that matters https://t.co/2VSDdoa5Hp

[John Talberth @johntalberth]

Congratulations Rep. @Ilhan Omar for bold new legislation moving us beyond GDP towards a true measure of economic wellbeing – the Genuine Progress Indicator. The GPI is critical component of a #greenNewDeal and will measure real American progress https://t.co/3It9BHme9h @amprog

If @GovInslee doesn't like the heat why does he continue to authorize clearcutting of Washington's forests? Clearcuts are hot zones. Forests are nature's AC. https://t.co/4tjZrlYD70

[Center for Sustainable Economy @csesustainable]

@GovInslee If Governor Inslee doesn't like the heat why does he keep authorizing new clearcuts and promoting more logging? Clearcuts are hot zones. Forests are nature's AC. https://t.co/4tjZrlYD70
