CPA Comments on USDA Climate Solicitation

CPA filed comments with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) this week in response to the agency’s solicitation to address President Biden’s January Executive Order titled “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad.”  USDA’s solicitation seeks suggestions on how the agency can help support the administration’s climate change objectives.  Among other suggestions, CPA recommends that the USDA resurrect objectives outlined in a 2011 agency press release that focus on policies and programs designed to leverage the wood products sector as a climate change mitigator in the built environment.  Many of the releases’ objectives continue to be relevant today.  See CPA Comments.
