The Natural Fix?: The Role of Ecosystems in Climate Mitigation
(Full report at:
http://www.unep.org/publications/search/pub_details_s.asp?ID=4027)
Large cuts in emissions of greenhouse gases are needed if we are to
avoid the worst effects of global climate change. This Rapid
Assessment Report describes the vital contributions which ecosystems
can and must make to improve these efforts. It presents carbon capture
and storage through a Green Economy lens, outlining the potential in
terms of natural systems, from forests to grasslands which have been
doing the job in a tried and tested way for millennia. Currently the
world's ecosystems instead of maintaining and enhancing nature's
carbon capture and storage capacity, are being depleted at an alarming
rate. This authoritative report, compiled for World Environment Day on
5th June, underlines a far greater potential across a wider suite of
natural systems: a potential to not only combat climate change and
climate-proof vulnerable economies but to also accelerate sustainable
development and the achievement of the poverty related Millennium
Development Goals.
