ASLA issued a statement expressing its position on the Green New Deal resolution that was introduced last week in the House of Representatives and the Senate. The statement discussed the significant overlap between the broad goals of the climate-related provisions of the resolution and ASLA’s own Blue Ribbon Panel report, Smart Policies for a Changing Climate. It stated that “ASLA supports the underlying principles of the GND resolution that relate specifically to climate change and resilience, and we are pleased that it has served to stimulate public debate about the accelerating climate crisis.”
