Today
I speak with Bronson Griscom, Director of Forest Carbon Science for
the Nature Conservancy.
Last
year, he headed up a team of three dozen researchers from almost
two dozen institutions tasked with identifying once and for all the
realistic potential of using nature as a bulwark against climate
change.
The
result is a report called "Natural
Climate Solutions",
which identifies 20 low-cost, natural "pathways" that can get us 37 percent of the way to
meeting the Paris Climate Agreement targets -- sometimes at no
cost, sometimes at just $10 per ton, and often while increasing
food yields and reducing the cost of farming.
