Since the BRT statement there’s been a surge in aggressive carbon-reduction goals, up from just a handful of organizations a decade ago, to two-thirds of Fortune Global 500 companies with significant commitments today. By their best measurements, we have exceeded six of the nine boundaries, and we’re risking negative tipping points.

RR: Can you explain the relationship trees have with the carbon cycle? Does a mature forest continue to sequester carbon, or is most of that done during the growth phase? Ford: Trees are the workhorse that help sequester carbon, but they aren’t the only one. There are two ways to look at carbon sequestering functionality.

Over the past few years, as companies have come under steadily increasing pressure to tackle climate change, nature-based solutions have emerged as a particularly exciting method for shrinking corporate carbon footprints. Investing in forests can be a win-win that both sequesters carbon and regenerates nature. The catch?

As a result, climate change is already affecting every inhabited region on Earth, and impacts such as sea level rise, ocean acidification, and permafrost melt are inevitable and near-irreversible, leaving only their extent open to question.

Perhaps most worrying of all, impacts such as sea level rise, ocean acidification, and permafrost melt are now inevitable and near-irreversible within timespans stretching from hundreds to potentially thousands of years, leaving only their extent open to question. Natural carbon sinks become less effective as emissions rise.

Despite fears about cost increases and low-sulfur fuel availability, the change was a success in terms of decreasing pollution that contributes to ocean acidification and harms the health of humans and marine life. IMO will assign a CII rating, with A being the best, least carbon-intensive and E being the worst, most carbon-intensive.

degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial average, due to the vast amounts of heat-trapping carbon dioxide that humans have added to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. Solar geoengineering, for example, does nothing to ameliorate ocean acidification, which occurs when the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
