New paper by @damon_matthews, @KirstenZickfeld, @amyluers, @kochalex_ presents an approach to tonne-year accounting to effectively quantify and track the #climate value of temporary and permanent land #carbon #storage. @Concordia nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

When it comes to tackling climate change, we believe we cannot manage what we cannot measure. This is where environmental accounting and reporting comes in.
We had @AmyLuers, @Microsoft's Global Director of Sustainability Science, break it all down for us. 🧵⬇️
ALT 1 expert, 5 questions with Amy Luers.

The current methods of greenhouse-gas accounting are broken. Thanks to @amyleurs and coauthors we have a new article in @Nature outlining the need for reliable, interoperable systems. This needs to be the foundation of a net zero carbon economy. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

On the critical need for reliable carbon accounting, this week in Nature: nature.com/articles/d41586-0… @amyluers @lucasjoppa @theNASEM @MSFTResearch #ClimateCrisis #GHG
4/4
Trees are not permanent, but trees, forests, and nature are necessary for managing the climate crisis.

3/4 The climate crisis requires:
(1) Cut emissions of GHG emissions to near zero by mid-century &
(2) Invest in nature for carbon removal and storage, and climate resilience &
(3) Invest in permanent carbon removal tech, to enable scale deployment within a couple of decades.
2/4 Protecting and restoring forests can reduce peak warming and build climate resilience.
But there is a catch: Temporary storage of carbon in trees only decreases peak warming if fossil fuel emissions to near zero.

1/4 @hausfath, in his opinion in @nytimes, correctly argues humanity cannot rely on trees for permanent carbon removal.

Bien que la reforestation puisse être bénéfique pour stocker temporairement le carbone, les objectifs de #carboneutralité ne pourront être atteints que si l’on cesse d’utiliser les combustibles fossiles, selon @damon_matthews et @amyluers de @Concordia.

Temporary nature-based carbon removal can lower peak warming but only if we also stop burning fossil fuels

Loved seeing @WBCSD member company @Microsoft in action at #GreenBiz22 — Danielle Decatur, Jim Hanna, Michelle Lancaster and @AmyLuers.
Remember to check out #CarbonCall — accelerating measurement, reporting, and verification of GHG emissions and removal. carboncall.org/

At #COP26, @WBCSD launched the Business Manifesto for Climate Recovery — calling for the development of a new Corporate Determined Contributions framework.
In today's #GreenBiz22 keynote, @makower, @Microsoft, @Goodyear, and I discussed the opportunities. wbcsd.org/Programs/Climate-a…
