The Nature Conservancy envisions a future with a livable climate, healthy communities and thriving nature. To make this vision a reality, the Conservancy focuses on addressing the two interconnected crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. TO address those crises throughout the world, the organization is focusing on three global priorities: tackling climate change, protecting ocean land and freshwater and providing food and water.
By 2030, the Conservancy is working to avoid or sequester 3 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions (roughly 6% of all global totals) by supporting a clean energy transition and by investing in the power of nature. Natural climate solutions enhance nature’s ability to absorb and store carbon through protecting, improving the management of and restoring nature.
One example of the Conservancy’s natural climate solution strategy is the public / private partnership of the restoration and protection of more than 60,000 acres of marsh and peat lands across the U.S. East Coast. This along with forest protection and management of a further 120,000 acres will help avoid emissions equivalent to what would be needed to power 5 million homes in the U.S.
