This bill directs the Oregon Climate Action Commission (OCAC) to conduct a comprehensive study on natural climate solutions, which are strategies that use natural ecosystems like forests, wetlands, and agricultural lands to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or sequester carbon. The commission is required to prepare and submit a detailed report to the Oregon Legislature's environment-related interim committees by September 15, 2026. The report may include legislative recommendations and will be prepared according to the state's standard reporting procedures outlined in ORS 192.245.
