policy agenda
Our policy goals for justice-centered conservation.
We unite land, freshwater, and ocean advocates who reflect the diversity of the U.S. and territories to catalyze action by policy-makers with the federal government as well as with Tribal, State governments on our twin goals: conserving 30% of lands and waters by 2030 and implementing a Justice40 metric in conservation investments.
Developed annually by the Coalition’s workgroups and steering committee, our policy agenda outlines public health and justice-centered conservation priorities for collective advocacy and action.
