Statement from Lucy Almond, Director of Nature4Climate, regarding the new WWF Living Planet report.
Please note parenthetically! The work to tackle climate change isn’t working at cross-purposes. All with the need to feed a growing world population. Natural climate solutions are urgently required to provide a third of the world’s climate solutions by 2030. It can work in harmony with sectors like agriculture and forestry. Take reforestation of degraded and unused land. This can effectively remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere without disturbing prime agricultural land. So regenerative agriculture cares with practices that reduce emissions and store more carbon in soils. It therefore will even boost the amount of food we produce. Finally and all while helping the climate at the same time.
