Success Stories
Climate change is the defining environmental and conservation issue of our generation. People who love to get outside bear witness to climate change with longer fire seasons, changes in precipitation patterns, rising sea levels, and hotter days. They are also powerful advocates for climate action.
The outdoor recreation community has brought its powerful influence to achieve big climate wins, and we are just getting started.
30 x 30
The outdoor community has championed the global effort to protect 30 percent of our public lands and waters, resulting in numerous states and the federal government committing to the 30x30 goal.
Inflation Reduction Act
The Inflation Reduction Act is the country’s largest-ever climate bill, which provides $369 billion in funding to address the climate crisis, including billions for wildfire mitigation, forest management, and conservation.
Outdoor Alliance worked with congressional leadership, generated thousands of letters from recreationists, and built a West Virginia recreation coalition to advocate for the successful passage of this climate package.
Great American Outdoors Act
The Great American Outdoors Act provides permanent funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund of $900 million each year. It also provides up to $1.9 billion for maintenance of our National Parks, National Forests, BLM lands, and other public land.
