Did you know that climate change mitigation and ecosystem restoration are two of the main challenges facing humanity?
Why Climate and Ecosystem Restoration?
Restoration of degraded ecosystem: Deforestation and ecosystem degradation continue to increase due to human activities such as urbanisation, intensive agriculture, and natural resource extraction. In line with international trends and regulations in ecosystem restoration, following good practices and considering a comprehensive set of environmental and social aspects is crucial for success in improving and recovering ecosystems.
Carbon footprint management: The main international target to stop climate change is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). It is internationally recognised that since the Industrial Revolution, the concentration of GHGs in the atmosphere has increased drastically, leading to an increase in the greenhouse effect and consequently, climate change.
Carbon projects / Carbon removals: International awareness about climate change in the public and private sectors has led to the creation of carbon markets, where climate change mitigation initiatives are evaluated, and their contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gases is quantified. In this arena, land use management plays an important role. Thanks to photosynthesis, ecosystems have the potential to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. These initiatives (carbon projects) require robust methodologies, monitoring approaches, and quality assurance procedures.
Carbon awareness: The public and private sectors, and society in general, are becoming aware of climate change, leading to an increased interest in understanding carbon footprints and how to manage them. The private sector requires standards, tools, and processes to calculate and reduce the carbon footprint in its objective to contribute to the mitigation of climate change.
What are the challenges?
The primary threats to our planet and humanity are ecosystem degradation and climate change. We face two urgent and critical challenges: restoring degraded ecosystems and mitigating climate change. While reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential, increasing greenhouse gas removals is equally important, with ecosystems playing a vital role in this process. Implementing effective practices to restore degraded lands is crucial for creating a healthier planet where humans can live in harmony with nature.
For at genoprette økosystemerne effektivt har verden brug for overvågning og evaluering
FN's Årti for Genopretning af Økosystemer fremhæver betydningen af genopretning af økosystemer for at standse tabet af biodiversitet og håndtere klimaforandringerne og samtidig tage fat på andre brede samfundsmæssige udfordringer. Verden har sat sig det mål at bevare mindst 30% af vores land- og vandområder inden 203, og det år nærme...
