Getting Down to the Roots: Why Soil Matters for Climate Stabilization
Following 2015’s designation as the International Year of Soils by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, soil carbon sequestration is experiencing something of a renaissance among policy and scientific circles. Now the challenge is to translate all this momentum to action, starting with how we approach and develop climate-smart projects.
“In recent years, I have had the honor to participate in The Trust’s transformation under Sean Penrith’s visionary leadership. Through the Trust’s unique carbon investment fund, the pace of carbon mitigation will be accelerated through deployment of conservation finance that will ultimately scale to achieve measurable benefits to protect our planet. I am honored to play a role in this meaningful initiative and genuinely value my association with The Climate Trust.”
