New Evidence of Global Carbon Sequestration in Trees Outside of Forests Supports Nature-Based Solutions for Meeting Net Zero Goals.
CRUCIAL ECOSYSTEM SERVICE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AT THE SAME TIME.
- Tree-based sinks are the only actions that remove excess carbon now.
- TOF at the scale of individual trees underpin livelihoods of billions of people and lead to more stable incomes under climate-stress conditions.
- NASA earth observations make individual tree carbon measurement counting part of Nature-Based Climate Solutions (NBS); this project mapped every tree in Africa.
- TOF NBS support most international programs, and White House U.S. Net Zero goals.
- Large capital investments are being made in NBS, and TOF solutions increase the relevancy and effectiveness for people’s well being and poverty alleviation.
