Minnesota Valley Chapter of the Izaak Walton League Backs Climate Restoration
The Minnesota Valley Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America passed Resolution #2023-2 on January 28, 2023, formally supporting climate restoration as a core part of its environmental mission.
The resolution grounds its case in hard data: CO₂ has risen 50% since the Industrial Revolution, sea levels are rising, and Antarctica is losing 151 billion metric tons of ice per year.
The chapter made clear that Net Zero alone falls short. The CO₂ already in the atmosphere keeps driving damage, and restoring pre-industrial levels is the only path to a truly safe climate.
The League has defended soil, air, woods, waters and wildlife since 1922 — and now Climate Restoration is part of that pledge.
Welcome to the movement, Minnesota Valley Chapter.
