Browse Hierarchy GEG6232: Nature-based Climate Solutions

To what extent can climate change be mitigated by improved stewardship of terrestrial, aquatic and urban ecosystems? In this module, we examine how conservation, restoration and improved management of ecosystems can increase carbon storage and/or avoid greenhouse gas emissions. We evaluate a range of 'natural climate solutions' (NCS) for their feasibility, cost-effectiveness, environmental co-benefits and climate mitigation potential. You will take an active approach to learning through participation in lectures and interactive workshops. You will have the opportunity to undertake a non-residential field trip or to explore a virtual field experience. This module addresses the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs): SDG11 Sustainable Cities and Communities; SDG13 Climate Action; SDG14 Life below Water; SDG15 Life on Land; SDG17 Partnerships for the Goals.
