Keynote Presentation
Awakening the Sleeping Giant: Natural Climate Solutions
Natural climate solutions include protection and restoration of wild lands, and better management of working lands. They are one of the largest, yet most under-financed, climate mitigation sectors. This is the case even in countries like the US, and in states like Connecticut, where fossil fuel emissions reductions are paramount. In his talk, Dr. Griscom will review the range of natural climate solutions globally, nationally, and locally, and discuss the challenges and opportunities of awakening the sleeping giant climate ally at our doorstep.
