The Oregon Global Warming Commission is seeking applicants to serve on a new Natural and Working Land Advisory Committee to provide input on the implementation of the Commission’s Natural and Working Lands Proposal, which was adopted in August 2021. The proposal set a net goal for sequestration and storage in natural and working lands, made recommendations for how to track progress toward the goal, and identified key strategies and programs needed to achieve the goal.

In a newly-published proposal, the Oregon Global Warming Commission is calling for Oregon to invest in actions that will increase the carbon that is captured and stored in the state’s natural and working lands. The proposal was developed in response to Governor Brown’s climate change Executive Order 20-04, and calls for capturing and storing – or sequestering – an additional 5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MMTCO2e) by 2030, and an additional 9.5 MMTCO2e per year by 2050.
