HD 2394 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to incentives for nature as a climate solution

This bill creates a state task force to study how to expand incentives for natural lands (like forests and wetlands) to capture and store carbon, helping meet climate goals. The task force, chaired by the environment undersecretary and including climate officials, land conservation groups, and carbon experts, will develop policy recommendations by December 2026. These recommendations may include new laws or regulations to encourage public and private investment in natural carbon removal. The bill does not enact immediate policy but sets up a process for future climate action.
