Opinion: Expand and restore Bay wetlands to fight climate change
The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) from the world’s scientific community leaves no doubt that we must take urgent action on climate change while we still have a chance to prevent the most destructive impacts to the globe’s communities and ecosystems. This report must spur every one of us to look at actions we can take in our region to rapidly reduce emissions and prepare our communities to adapt. … One of the most effective nature-based solutions is the expansion and restoration of coastal wetlands.
