Episode 03: Sizing the Prize and Unlocking Natural Climate Solutions at Scale with Bronson Griscom, Senior Director of NCS at Conservation International

In 2017, Bronson Griscom published a landmark study on the impact potential of natural climate solutions, suggesting that a portfolio of conservation, restoration and land management actions can enable at least 30% of required emissions reductions by 2030 to remain on a 2C pathway.  In this episode, we explore how Bronson thought about pursuing these questions, how likely we are to actually get it done, and how we can unlock NCS at scale.In this episode, we touch on:- How to fix nature’s ‘branding problem’- How to think about impact measurement, permanence and leakage for NCS- How future warming impacts the potential of these solutions- What needs to happen to create momentum behind NCS projects Want to learn more?
