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.

Analysis by Carbon Tracker last week tallied up total oil sector write-downs at $87bn over the past nine months, thanks to a combination of lower oil demand and the accelerating clean energy transition. Similarly with soil erosion, mangrove destruction, and loss of peatland, all of which pose myriad threats to both climate and nature.

The latest, most urgent call to action from the IPCC has increased attention on policies to reduce CO2 emissions and enhance carbon sequestration. This article provides a primer on the three major policy building blocks available for reducing carbon pollution: pricing mechanisms, subsidies , and regulations.

If you plant trees on marginal land, grow them, harvest them, and then replant them — you can actually improve the soil quality of that marginal land over time. 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?

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?

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.

The Chugach Regional Resources Commission, an organization made up of seven Indigenous governments in south-central Alaska, is leading several projects aimed at helping coastal communities adapt to the changing ocean. Climate pressures like ocean acidification have made it harder for the mollusks to build and maintain shells.
