Climate Action

such as wetlands and other green infrastructure to filter pollutants and provide flood and storm protection.

to better adapt to warming temperatures and rising waters.

that phases out greenhouse gas pollution from the energy and transportation sectors.

and within adjacent communities to help reduce carbon in the atmosphere.

between national parks and adjacent lands to help populations adapt and survive in changing landscapes.

that help make national park infrastructure, natural and cultural resources, and park communities more resilient in the face of rising seas and extreme weather.

that protect parks and communities from increasing and intensifying wildfires, droughts and storms to manage natural, cultural and historic park assets to withstand higher temperatures.

to safeguard biodiversity, prevent habitat loss and sequester carbon.

to restore clean air and a healthy climate.

to ensure harms to our communities, air, lands, water, wildlife and climate are known, assessed and mitigated.

with green transportation and infrastructure and sustainable operations. 

We are restoring the flow of fresh water south into three national park sites to combat rising sea levels, improving drinking water for communities, and helping the park’s unique ecosystems and wildlife thrive.

Working alongside Tribal partners we prevent the development of fossil fuels near parks and fight new oil exploration and drilling, taking legal action when necessary.

NPCA leads a coalition of more than 160 groups that has successfully delivered more than $2.5 billion dollars in federal funding to the national parks of the Great Lakes region to protect the wetlands that absorb flood waters and reduce storm damage.

NPCA is working to protect the iconic grizzly bears of the Northern Rockies as they face the threats climate change poses to their habitat, food sources and genetic health.

For more than a decade, NPCA has led volunteer efforts to plant more than 190,000 native longleaf pine trees in the preserve, conserving thousands of acres that can make the park and its wildlife more resilient to extreme weather and provide flood mitigation benefits to neighboring communities.

We’ve helped secure investments in green infrastructure such as wetlands and natural buffer zones that restore native plants, improve wildlife habitat and protect nearby communities from storm surges.

Our work has resulted in fewer greenhouse gases, clearer skies and healthier ecosystems by securing significant reductions in pollution from power plants and other industrial emitters around the Rocky Mountains.
