Nature-based Climate Solutions in PNW
Nature has been shaping our climate over the past 450+ million years and is responsible for significant carbon drawdown over geologic time. Over the past 200 years, humans have significantly altered terrestrial landscapes, continuously removing themselves from and disrupting nature. Today, we travel to nature instead of seeing ourselves living as part of nature. While planting more trees has been the nature-oriented solution to climate change, the solutions are much more diverse. Come learn how conservation and land stewardship initiatives are working to help mitigate climate risk and impact, preserving habitats and ecosystems that protect nature, wildlife, and our natural resources.
