Natural Climate Solutions

This report takes a deeper dive into natural climate solutions — the carbon storage and reduction potential of conservation, restoration and improved land management practices — in the United States.

This groundbreaking in-depth international report describes the development of the concept of "Nature Based Solutions" and details applications to global resource management challenges including water scarcity, human health, and climate change. Part B provides a host of case study examples...

By advancing natural climate solutions, land trusts can provide a wealth of ecological and economic benefits that extend beyond cost-effective climate mitigation.

​​Forests are a critical component of natural climate solutions, comprising more than 90 percent of the U.S. land sector capacity to sequester carbon.

This report summarizes five climate science papers published in the Canadian Journal of Forest Research. It provides a picture of the potential effects of climate change and provides a concise scientific overview to inform natural resource management and policy decisions.

As climate change impacts intensify around the world, nature-based carbon sequestration and storage are essential tools to addressing the climate crisis. The question remains where to focus conservation in order to maximize climate benefits. The Conservation Carbon Map can help answer that and more.

The Climate Change Education Partnership supports climate change communication tools and resources across the country.

The new guide provides criteria for the selection, completion, and management of land protection projects, for the successful capture and storage of carbon.

Carbon storage by ecosystems is valuable for climate protection. This study assesses how combining carbon storage with other ecosystem services affected by biodiversity may well enhance the economic arguments for conservation even further.
