The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports that 23% of greenhouse gas emissions are about land use.
Why natural climate solutions are about much more than carbon:
How we use land will be doubly important in the next decade: not only in reducing carbon emissions, but also in offsetting emissions from other sectors.
Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) are activities that bring together carbon reduction with other benefits such as biodiversity, land restoration, and support for rural and indigenous communities.
The world needs to integrate conservation, restoration, and sustainable production systems into a broader value system, rather than simply focusing on carbon offsets.
