A Long-Term Strategy for Climate, Nature and Energy

Forests as a Climate and Livelihood Solution

Speakers: Alfonso Escolar González, Jane Goodall, Gill Einhorn

Forests represent a third of carbon sequestration potential to address the climate crisis and many local benefits if paired with steep emissions cuts from human sources. And blue carbon ecosystems, such as mangrove forests, seagrasses and salt marshes, store up to five times more carbon per acre than tropical rainforests.

With such immense potential, what are the new science, corporate and government commitments to safeguard forests both in land and coastal ecosystems and protect local livelihoods?

Centre for Nature and Climate

The Centre for Nature and Climate fosters a holistic approach to addressing the climate emergency, focusing on industry decarbonization, nature-positive systems, and resource stewardship. It works with the CEO Climate Leaders, the First Movers Coalition, and the Champions for Nature community to achieve net-zero emissions, protect and restore natural ecosystems, and promote sustainable practices.
