Natural Climate Solutions Alliance’s Post

📣 LAUNCH ALERT 📣 IETA and Natural Climate Solutions Alliance's new paper highlights the urgent need to finance natural climate solutions 🌱 🌎 Ellen Lourie, Director for NCS and Aviation at IETA, said: "To meet Paris Agreement goals, immediate action must be taken to halt and reverse nature loss and sustain and recover nature's ability to sequester carbon."

If we are serious about addressing climate - then we must take action in halting and reversing the loss of nature because there is no way we can mitigate climate change without nature! Thanks IETA for summarising the importance of protecting and restoring nature for climate and Natural Climate Solutions Alliance for promoting best practices for procuring high-integrity NCS credits that will finance nature protection and restoration.

According to the latest EEA report 'The importance of nature-based solutions is recognised, and 91% of local climate action plans across Europe already include them in their planned adaptation measures.' 'However, due to the magnitude of current and expected future climate impacts, it may still be necessary to combine these approaches with complementary types of adaptation actions, including physical infrastructure, to ensure they can meet urban adaptation needs.'

🛰️ Last week, we hosted an Expert Talk Session on 'An Independent Review of Satellite-based Solutions for Climate Monitoring', and as promised, the White Paper, 'Satellite-based Solutions for Climate and Sustainability' is now available! 🌍 Dive into key insights from the session, delving into how satellite-based solutions are instrumental in addressing climate challenges and sustainability. 📖 Click here to access the full White Paper now: http://orbi.fyi/RelC #earthobservation #sustainability #climatechange #satellitedata #carbonmarkets #nbs #deforestation #climatemonitoring #whitepaper #remotesensing

Climate Science using Esri GIS is making a difference.

We need to truly protect key marine habitats providing biodiversity and carbon services, instead of current ‘paper parks’ situation. Maintenance of the habitats is far easier and less costly than having to restore after damage has been done. Marine planning decisions must take this on board if climate change and biodiversity targets are to be met. Policy needs to be in place for appropriate decision making to happen on this…….quickly.

Why our seas and marine environment are so important.

Strong climate action strategies start with GIS - an essential tool for taking climate action. Brett Dixon from Esri Asia Pacific and Karen Sweeney of the City of Sydney share how it can be used to monitor progress and refine strategies to meet sustainability goals. https://lnkd.in/gQ8aiE3X #ClimateAction #EsriClimateSeries
