Great to see several of the Resource Efficiency Collective's research projects listed in this climate research map of the University of Cambridge 🌎 The Climate Compatible Growth #CCG programme: https://lnkd.in/enpZT-sq The C-THRU project: https://lnkd.in/enME52Yg Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge Jonathan Cullen

We cannot solve climate, biodiversity, and human quality of life challenges in isolation. Taking authentic and meaningful climate action requires us to understand the interconnectedness of our world. It's time to adopt holistic approaches that prioritize balance and resilience. Read the essay by Dr. Shobha Maharaj: https://refore.st/4aAJL4i

On this topic, I have very strong beliefs. Only those people who live amongst the trees with great knowledge of the trees can speak for the trees. This is very important as rights of nature issues come around. There is vast power and many billions, nay trillions, in the balance. We must be very, very careful with this experiment, and not open any colonial backdoors. (My term, please quote me when using)

In 2024, NII took an important step toward localizing the global issue of climate change with the launch of The Climate Project, a trusted digital hub funded by Bruce Power. This initiative provides actionable insights into what a changing climate means for Bruce, Grey, and Huron counties and local Indigenous communities within Saugeen Ojibway Nation Territory. From the impact of rising air temperatures on Lake Huron’s fish to the threat of invasive species in local forests, The Climate Project delivers research and knowledge tailored to our region. Visit www.climateproject.ca to explore how climate change is shaping our air, water and land. #ClimateAction #LocalizedResearch #Environment #LakeHuron

need a better understanding on this.

Good to see this clear and simple overview on the potential power of the below ground carbon store. Will be good to see carbon payment schemes shift focus to supporting management of the earth system treasure.

Interesting to look at this information. Raises some points for discussion.

Indeed UN Biodiversity.. ■Earth's natural carbon sinks, such as forests, oceans, and soil, play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by absorbing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. ■These ecosystems are essential for achieving zero net carbon emissions by 2050 and supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ■Natural carbon sinks currently absorb approximately 50% of human-caused carbon emissions, helping to slow global warming. ■■Preserving and restoring natural carbon sinks is critical for maintaining their carbon sequestration capabilities and ensuring their continued health and resilience. ■This can be achieved through sustainable land-use practices, reforestation efforts, and conservation initiatives. ■Additionally, natural carbon sinks provide numerous co-benefits, including supporting biodiversity, regulating water cycles, and providing livelihoods for communities. ■■By protecting and restoring natural carbon sinks, we can achieve multiple #SDGs, including #SDG13 (Climate Action), #SDG15 (Life on Land), and #SDG14 (Life Below Water). ■Natural carbon sinks can help bridge the emissions gap between current country pledges and the Paris Agreement's goal to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. ■■Therefore, prioritizing the preservation and restoration of natural carbon sinks is essential for achieving zero net carbon emissions by 2050 and supporting sustainable development.

Wonderful infographics illustrating why some of Earth’s land-based/forest ecosystems are such crucial carbon sinks in mitigating #ClimateChange. Achieving net-zero (by 2050) depends a lot on these natural carbon sinks! #biodiversity #habitatloss #ecosystemconservation #carbonsinks #netzero #climatechange
