Sometimes it is left out of statistics, or reported separately as LULUCF – Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry. Our response to climate change is a balancing act: we work to reduce carbon emissions on the one hand and to enhance nature’s ability to absorb carbon on the other. So what are we talking about?

While dry forests experience more severe wildfires and drought, coastal wet forests must contend with a unique set of circumstances, such as changes in land use, increasing insects and disease, and extreme weather events. With climate change compounding these stressors, there is an urgent need to prepare our forests for the future.

This is especially clear in the ocean, where marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) projects – techniques that use the ocean to remove and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere – are advancing amid regulatory uncertainty. These risks must be weighed against the projected catastrophic consequences of inadequate climate action.
