A Sampling of Natural Climate Solutions Estimates
A Sampling of Natural Climate Solutions Mitigation Potentials
There are MANY numbers out there when it comes to climate change mitigation. We can organize those numbers in all kinds of ways. One way, as you can see here, is simply rank-ordering the mitigation potentials presented in one of the major studies of natural climate solutions. But we can also compare estimates across studies, rank-order the estimated costs of such solutions, etc.
