04.06.2022 - Let’s Not Pretend Planting Trees Is a Permanent Climate Solution
Trees are our original carbon removal technology: Through photosynthesis, they pull carbon dioxide out of the air and store it. They have lately been touted as a climate savior, a way to rapidly reduce the carbon dioxide that has accumulated in the atmosphere as we cut our emissions. A “trillion trees” initiative was launched with much fanfare at the World Economic Forum in Davos back in 2020, and it was one of the few climate solutions embraced by the Trump administration. Planting trees and protecting forests are a major part of many corporate efforts to offset emissions.

01.06.2022 - Perspectives | How to bridge Tajikistan’s rural-urban divide on climate change awareness
Central Asia is characterized by its breathtaking natural beauty, diverse landscapes, and rich resources. It is also a region particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change, given its carbon-intensive economies, and, at times, precarious access to food and water. Mounting rural-urban divisions and growing climate insecurity exacerbate these problems.

30.05.2022 - New global study identifies opportunities for increasing carbon storage on land to mitigate climate change
A new study, "The Global Potential for Increased Storage of Carbon on Land," published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), provides a series of geospatial maps that improve our understanding of the global gap between current and potential carbon storage on land, and offers a framework for action to realize the full potential of land-based carbon storage as a natural climate solution. The study is timely, coming on the heels of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s Working Group III's latest report, which focuses on the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions in order to limit future warming, and highlights the significant mitigation potential of natural and managed ecosystems given the opportunity they offer to remove additional carbon from the atmosphere.
