Climate change and a wide range of human activities are impacting habitats at an unprecedented and unsustainable rate. But today, we celebrate an important investment in addressing climate change in Arizona; the second anniversary of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). In conjunction with the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the 2022 climate laws were historic investments in the future of America, its people and the planet. The effects of these laws transcend state and party lines by investing in evidence-based, on-the-ground projects that benefit all Americans. These investments are critical to ensuring future economic prosperity and well-being of people and nature. Without effective implementation of these critical pieces of legislation and additional actions, the United States will likely miss its 2030 goal of reducing emissions by 50-52%. Hitting this target will have immediate benefits to human health, reduce long-term energy costs, and support innovation and investments in Arizona’s emerging tech and clean energy industries.

The Nature Conservancy in Arizona (TNC) is proud to support the Yavapai-Apache Nation’s landmark water rights settlement that will protect the Verde River on the tribe’s ancestral homelands and keep the river flowing as one of Arizona’s few remaining perennial waterways. The Verde River is the life-source for an incredible diversity of fish, birds, mammals, and native vegetation. It is also a critical source of water for drinking, agriculture, and recreation for the Verde Valley and Phoenix Metro Area’s nearly 5 million residents. The settlement underscores the remarkable power of collaboration: It involved a huge confluence of stakeholders, including the Nation, the State of Arizona, federal government, Salt River Project and Verde Valley communities. TNC lent its support through scientific research and promoting community dialogue. The settlement now faces a critical next step: It must be ratified by Congress. The good news? It has broad, bipartisan support. Sens. Mark Kelly and Krysten Sinema introduced the Yavapai-Apache Nation Water Rights Settlement Act in the U.S. Senate, and Congressman David Schweikert introduced the House version, co-sponsored by House Reps. Juan Ciscomani Debbie Lesko and Greg Stanton. Ruben Gallego also has publicly stated his support. The central pillar of the more than $1 billion settlement involves a pipeline that would deliver water from the C.C. Cragin Reservoir on the Mogollon Rim to the Yavapai-Apache Nation in the Verde Valley. This imported water not only provides a new water source, but is also essential for limiting groundwater pumping, which threatens the long-term sustainability of the Verde River and the Nation’s groundwater supplies. I am thrilled that TNC was able to play a supporting role in the settlement and that Arizona’s Congressional delegation is working across party lines on its passage. Let’s keep up the momentum!
