Progress in the Quest for Climate Change Solutions

The conservation and restoration of natural ecosystems are among our most effective strategies to help in the fight against biodiversity loss and climate change. Managing ecosystems effectively requires intricate knowledge of the organisms that regulate our climate.  The Crowther Lab is dedicated to analyzing the Earth’s ecological systems to understand how best to preserve and restore biodiversity around the world, and the benefits that brings for carbon capture and human wellbeing. This can be achieved through the conservation and restoration of forests, grasslands, and peatlands, along with the holistic management of agricultural soils to promote diverse mixtures of species. This is the idea behind the Trillion Tree Campaign (1T.org). In this talk, Tom shows how his team at Crowther Lab, with the support of the World Economic Forum and it’s Trillion Tree Campaign, are sharing data and scaling solutions to enable citizens everywhere to be a part of the solution.
