Kotek order ties resilient land to healthy local economies Public News Service (PNS) is a member-supported news service that advocates journalism in the public interest. PNS's network of state-based news services distribute high quality public interest news…

🌲 Oregon sets a bold goal: protect & restore 10% of lands and waters in 10 years to boost climate resilience.
Healthy ecosystems and healthy local economies go hand in hand, says Wallowa Resources.

An eastern cottonwood that was planted in March as part of our reforestation project! Can’t wait to analyze the growth and survival data on these plantings this fall #populusdtoides #easterncottonwood #reforestation #naturalclimatesolutions.

Important research, reminding everyone - once again -that
without attention to social, economic and political factors, #NaturalClimateSolutions (NCS) can have negative impacts!

Mapping the Benefits and Trade-offs from Natural Climate Solutions A new study shows how protecting, better managing, and restoring nature for climate change enhance human wellbeing, biodiversity, and ecosystems.

New research has shown that natural climate solutions such as avoided deforestation, natural forest management, agroforestry, and improved grazing strategies reforestation have the strongest evidence of benefits for human wellbeing, biodiversity, and the environment. #naturalclimatesolutions

Natural climate solutions: Enhancing the role of seagrass meadows The ZOBLUC Project explores how Baltic Sea seagrass meadows store CO₂, restore ecosystems, and engage communities in conservation.

#NaturalClimateSolutions try to address global climate problems, but how do they impact local communities? We review what we know from >250 K articles in work with @harpactes.bsky.social, @jterbaugh.bsky.social, and many others (not yet here!) is just out in @naturesustain.bsky.social

In our research (out today in @naturesustain.bsky.social), we provide a comprehensive evidence map for the co-impacts from #NaturalClimateSolutions using large language models (in addition to other interesting models!) to synthesize information from >250 K articles.

Key takeaways from "Maximizing the Impact of Natural Climate Solutions": 1. Natural climate solutions sequester carbon and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while providing additional co-benefits for human well-being, ecosystem health, and biodiversity. 2. To best serve farmers and ranchers implementing these solutions, technical assistance is paramount. 3. Growing more resilient forests will help address the wildfire crisis, sequester carbon, and enhance biodiversity. 4. Voluntary carbon markets are one tool designed to bolster natural climate solutions. The White House, Department of Energy, Department of Treasury, and Department of Agriculture released a joint statement of policy principles to support a high-integrity voluntary carbon market.

Detailed highlight notes are now available for EESI's recent briefing, "Maximizing the Impact of #NaturalClimateSolutions."

New CEE #SystematicMap Protocol proposes to identify, map, & describe the evidence base surrounding the impacts of #NaturalClimateSolutions interventions on #ClimateChange mitigation outcomes within tropical & sub-tropical terrestrial ecosystems. https://bit.ly/NCSSMP

This evidence map will follow CEE's rigorous guidelines for #EvidenceSynthesis available on our website https://bit.ly/CEEGuidelines For more information on the #NaturalClimateSolutions project contact @carlosvirtual @pilesofsquid #evidence4climate #COP26

#NaturalClimateSolutions can potentially capture or avoid the emission of at least 11 Gt of #CO2 eq./year. Our US CEE Centre @CBC_AMNH & @ConservationOrg are using systematic mapping to ID current approaches & knowledge gaps around NCS. Read more: https://bit.ly/NCSMap #COP26
