Among all the climate change solutions out there, reforestation is a key piece of the puzzle - but where does it fit in the grand scheme of things? A pivotal piece from One Tree Planted delves into how reforestation is a crucial weapon against climate change. Planting trees not only captures carbon dioxide but also restores biodiversity, stabilizes soils, and enhances water cycles, making it a multifaceted solution to environmental degradation. ATLAS-SSI proudly partners with One Tree Planted to advance these reforestation efforts. Each project we undertake contributes to planting trees, intertwining our core operations with actions that directly benefit the planet. Join us in supporting reforestation as a powerful climate action. Together with One Tree Planted, we're not just planting trees—we're planting hope for future generations.

Their partners are scaling up knowledge on NbS to empower societies to create ambitious plans for a world with more space for nature and net-zero emissions by 2050. From restoring wetlands to securing freshwater ecosystems, these approaches not only protect biodiversity but also build climate resilience. 🌍 One of the partners, WWF has published a report showcasing case studies on NbS, underscoring the urgent need for investment in nature to secure a livable future. 📖 The full report is available for download here 👉 Read the report https://lnkd.in/d5XEkHWt Let’s embrace solutions that work with nature, not against it. Together, we can secure a thriving, water-resilient future! 💙 Did you know that NWP regularly organises a Learning Week on Nature-based Solutions? NWP also offers virtual and in-person study tours and learning weeks to foster cooperation between countries and professionals.

The #BlueCarbonCredits Market is a voluntary market that incentivizes the restoration and conservation of coastal ecosystems, such as mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses, which sequester significant amounts of carbon dioxide. A brief summary as given below : - #What: Blue Carbon Credits are certificates representing one ton of CO2 equivalent removed from the atmosphere through coastal ecosystem conservation and restoration. - #Why: Support conservation and restoration efforts, promote sustainable land use, and help combat climate change. - #How: Projects are verified and validated by independent auditors, ensuring additionality, permanence, and leakage avoidance. - #Benefits: Generates income for coastal communities, supports biodiversity, and contributes to global climate change mitigation efforts. - #Market size: Growing rapidly, with estimated annual transaction values reaching tens of millions of dollars. - #Key players: Project developers, governments, NGOs, and private companies buying credits to offset emissions. - #Standards and frameworks: Verra's Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the International Carbon Reduction and Offset Alliance (ICROA) provide guidelines and certification. The #BlueCarbonCredits Market offers a unique opportunity to support coastal ecosystem conservation while addressing climate change. #carboncredits #carbonmarkets #ESG #Sustainability #bluecarbon #climatechange https://lnkd.in/gDrQXKEu

Why do forests matter? Forests cover one-third of the Earth's land mass, serving as critical pillars for both environmental health and human well-being. These ecosystems are not only the home to over half of the world’s terrestrial species but also play a pivotal role in combating climate change through their natural processes of carbon sequestration. Known as forest mitigation, this process is essential in reducing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, thus averting more extreme global temperature rises. https://lnkd.in/gU_XBCZx.

Climate Week NYC is over and it’s clear that land has a big role to play in the climate transition. Here are our three key takeaways:    🌳 Halting deforestation and conversion is crucial  1️⃣ Land use change was indisputably recognised as a key portion of the greenhouse gas emissions pie for many companies. Halting deforestation and conversion in their supply chains is a key pathway for companies to meet their climate and nature targets, reduce their emissions burden, and comply with incoming regulation.     🚜 Land management is also a piece of the puzzle  2️⃣ Several talks at this year’s Climate Week NYC emphasised the role of addressing emissions from agricultural land management, including via insetting. These management improvements can foster better climate resilience and improved crop health while helping companies meet their commitments.    💵 A land use-driven climate transition needs broad support  3️⃣ Many companies are nervous about what to do, how to do it, and what it means if they fail. Whether through financial incentives, regulation, or through their investors, companies need more support to meet key climate goals.    Climate change is a big problem that requires big solutions. The agri-food sector has a big part to play.

We often say that forests are the lungs of the world. That is not disputed. But the real "guardians of the forests" continue to suffer as the triple planetary crisis of biodiversity loss, pollution and climate change continue to escalate. Forest communities are at the battle frontlines protecting forests for the 1.5-degree target, often performing this task free of charge. They should be compensated for keeping the planet's lungs functional. As we mark the International Day of Forests today and reflect on gains and setbacks, let's reaffirm our commitment to pursue win-win opportunities both for communities at the battle frontlines and for our planet.

Nature provides a powerful solution for climate stabilization through carbon drawdown. Realizing this potential requires aggressive emissions cuts alongside native forest restoration. Balancing these efforts is crucial for effective climate change mitigation. Read more: https://refore.st/3waxfJL

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay. 🌳 Nature and biodiversity are central to the health of planet Earth and must be prioritised through climate action. Here's why investing in nature makes ecological and economic sense. Read of the day: https://lnkd.in/geZuv-YD #GenerationRestoration

TIME writes that over the past two years, there has been an increase in global initiatives to enhance our relationship with the ocean. The ocean is critical to climate regulation, hosting 95% of the planet's life. At Corbion, we're proud to contribute to this positive momentum with AlgaPrime™ DHA. AlgaPrime™ DHA has become the world's leading source of algae-based sustainable Omega-3. As the world focuses on sustainable aquaculture, our nutrients supports this movement, offering an eco-friendly solution for the growing population. By embracing green practices and investing in innovation and a sustainable ocean economy, we are working towards a healthier planet.
