WNN members North Carolina Housing Table and Texans for Housing are advancing pro-housing, pro-climate land use reforms in their deep-red state legislatures. By building unique, bipartisan, strange bedfellow coalitions around these reforms, they have a clear opportunity to achieve climate-friendly reforms where other environmental policies are dead on arrival. These policies would shift housing growth toward existing, walkable, transit-connected communities, reducing per capita emissions and fighting suburban sprawl. Through community organizing, coalition-building, and direct advocacy, the NC Housing Table and Texans for Housing are overcoming the power of NIMBYism and achieving groundbreaking pro-climate progress in unlikely places.

Facing a severe natural gas shortfall, Alaska is making immediate decisions on LNG import contracts for the next 30 years. A lack of institutional leadership and predatory delay from Alaska's public utilities and state agencies have created the current crisis. While LNG imports are a necessary bridge as renewables are built, they are not a long-term solution. AK PIRG staunchly opposes expensive, long-term LNG obligations and is working extensively at the Regulatory Commission of Alaska to keep the lights on in the short term and protect consumers from being locked into LNG and rising market prices in the long term.

Renewable Energy Alaska Project is Alaska’s leading clean energy education and advocacy group. REAP is currently pushing legislation that would require the state’s four largest utilities to diversify their generation portfolio away from a heavy reliance on natural gas. Those utilities are now preparing to import extremely expensive LNG, as local gas supplies begin to run short. Working with its statewide coalition, REAP is advocating for a renewable portfolio standard (RPS) requiring that 55% of the electricity on the state’s largest electric grid come from renewable sources by 2035, a transition that would save consumers over $1 billion by 2040.

Future Now is looking to raise funding to elevate climate action within their seven policy priorities. They leverage their network of legislators in purple states to advance policies. In particular, they will take a c4 approach to advocate directly for additional appropriations for new state-funded staff dedicated to capturing federal funds, creating state matching funds for federal grant proposals, and ensuring the funds are deployed towards projects that achieve positive climate outcomes.

NASEO, at the request of 1.5°CSG, is launching a $100k project to develop a suite of educational materials about the various federal funding opportunities, with a focus on the economic development opportunities and the need for states to allocate funds for new dedicated federal funding-focused state employees and provide matching funds to enhance grant proposals. These materials will be distributed to state energy offices, governor's offices, and other agencies and related associations across the country.

Rural Democracy Initiative is launching a new $20-$40m Regional Rural Focused IRA Coordinating Hubs Project over the next four years. It will focus on setting up regional hubs which can offer coordinating, collaboration, and technical assistance to rural communities and small towns particularly in red and purple states. That's where the difference between the probable and the possible for climate action with IRA funds would be the greatest. 1.5°CSG is kickstarting this project with an aim to get he first $200k in the door.
