§ 5.
Findings. The General Assembly finds it is in the interest of the State to encourage natural solutions as one component of the State's efforts to reduce and remediate the impacts of climate change. Natural solutions must include planting native trees and other vegetation demonstrated to reduce carbon dioxide. To accomplish this purpose, the State must offer assistance to other units of local government that are taking steps to fight climate change by restoring forests, wetlands, prairies, and other landscapes that are native to Illinois and that are demonstrated to have a positive environmental impact.
