Climate: Nature-Based Solutions

climate: Nature-based solutions also known as natural climate solutions leverage the world's forests, grasslands, wetlands and soils to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to The Japan Times. Healthy ecosystems absorb and store carbon on their own. But equally important, COP25 offers an opportunity to elevate one of the most powerful tools we have to address climate change nature. And if they are protected, restored and managed sustainably, they can provide one-third of the emissions reductions needed to meet the Paris climate agreement's goal for 2030. ; In other words, nature is offering us an opportunity that we cannot afford to miss. To secure a livable future on this planet, we also must commit to funding nature-based solutions. Reducing fossil fuel emissions is crucial, but it will not be enough to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, let alone 1.5 degrees, relative to preindustrial levels. (news.financializer.com).
