    Jul 1, 2024Nevertheless, the numbers add up: it is possible to draw down excess atmospheric carbon on a scale commensurate with the problem using nature-restoring methods rather than machines. Which is hopeful, because doing it with machines simply isn't working. Change Everything. Unlike technology, nature constantly repairs itself.

    Jul 1, 2024Nevertheless, whatever we do to try slowing or halting climate change will be most effective if it is aimed at helping nature do more of what it already does. Restoring nature isn't just our best climate solution, it's our only solution.
  4. Jan 28, 2025But it's important to remember that we do not always need to plant trees. When conditions are right, we can step back and simply let nature grow. A 2024 study showed that natural regrowth, or letting trees grow back naturally, can be more cost effective in some cases. There is no single "best" solution for restoring tree cover.

    To prevent irreversible harm to Earth’s life-support systems, humanity must emit less climate-warming greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, while also removing excess carbon from the atmosphere. This will require an urgent and large-scale transition to clean and renewable sources of energy. But even if the world stopped using fossil fuels completely, we would fail to avert a worst ...

    Nature is rich with climate solutions. We can remove 21% of US carbon pollution by restoring nature, the equivalent of removing all cars and trucks currently on the road. Protecting and restoring nature is something we all can do today, in our homes, workplaces, communities and beyond.
  8. The Current State of Restoration. Things are already bad. In 2018, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) reported that land degradation was undermining the well-being of two-fifths of humanity, driving 10 percent of anthropogenic climate emissions, and stands to reduce crop yields by up to 50 percent in some regions by 2050— driving mass ...

    Ecosystem degradation is a global phenomenon. It is expected that by 2050, 95% of Earth's land will be degraded. A whopping 24 billion tons of soil have already been eroded by unsustainable ...
  10. Restoring nature is one of the best tools we have for tackling the climate crisis. That means we all have a stake in protecting our wetlands and coastal ecosystems. CLF is committed to pushing for ambitious solutions to slash carbon pollution in Massachusetts and across New England and advocating for targeted resources for environmental justice ...

    Nov 29, 2023This blog was co-authored by Britta Johnston, Senior Policy Analyst for Natural Climate Solutions at EDF. Heading into COP28, nature as a climate solution has been making headlines, and rightfully so. Sustainably conserving, restoring, and managing the world's ecosystems is one of the most powerful tools we have to meet global climate goals. A recent […]
