A Landowner’s Guide to Carbon Sequestration Credits
This guide offers information to help landowners understand and make the decision whether or not to enroll their land in carbon sequestration programs.
Agricultural Lands
Various best practices, such as reducing or eliminating tillage and altering the mix of crops, can enhance carbon sequestration in agricultural lands.
As Seas Rise, Americans Use “Nature-Based Solutions” to Fight Worsening Erosion
Scientists combined insurance information, storm data, and climate and development scenarios along the Gulf Coast, then assessed the cost-effectiveness of different types of approaches to reduce future damage from flooding. They found that nature-based solutions for shoreline protection could halve the costs associated with future regional flooding, potentially saving tens of billions of dollars.
Best Practices for Climate Change Adaptation: Spotlight on Michigan Coastal Wetlands
This toolkit includes practices that have been applied to support wetland management for climate adaptation objectives.
Climate Change, Carbon, and the Forests of the Northeast
“Climate Change, Carbon, and the Forests of the Northeast” serves as a science-based and practical guide for policymakers and elected officials who are charged with developing policies for overall carbon dioxide reductions. In addition, the report serves as a practical guide for management in the Northeast to support resilience and maximize carbon sequestration on forestlands.
Coastal Blue Carbon: Methods for assessing carbon stocks
The coastal blue carbon manual aims to provide standardized methods for field measurements and analysis of blue carbon stocks and flux in coastal ecosystems.
Forests
Avoiding forest conversion and supporting restoration are relatively low-cost mitigation pathways that are ready to be put into practice on forestlands throughout the United States.
How Cities Can Adapt to a Hotter Planet
As cities swelter under a once-in-a-millennium heat dome, green space and blue infrastructure are critical nature-based urban planning solutions.
Land Management
Land management initiatives are honing in on high-value emission reduction gains in some of the most bio-productive systems. Natural climate solutions being implemented in forests, terrestrial and coastal wetlands as well as agricultural lands provide climate benefits.
Land Trust Alliance Applauds New Federal Dollars for Natural Climate Solutions, Other Conservation Initiatives in Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
The Land Trust Alliance, a national land conservation organization working to save the places people need and love by strengthening land conservation across America, today welcomed President Biden’s signature on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which includes funding for natural climate solutions, ecosystem restoration projects and disaster mitigation efforts.
