Climate Breakfast #45 Carbon Sequestration for Climate-Neutral Cities
In Sweden today, 48 cities—which together represent 50% of Sweden’s population—are mobilizing to become climate-neutral by 2030. In addition to direct emissions reductions, carbon sequestration and other complementary and offsetting measures can help reduce climate impact. Carbon sequestration involves, among other things, strengthening and maintaining natural carbon sinks. One key area is carbon sinks in the soil, which can also improve soil health. During this climate breakfast, you’ll learn more about how stakeholders in a municipality—not least the agricultural sector—can collaborate to ensure sustainable land use in the long term.
The discussion will focus on the role of carbon maps in strategic work: What is a carbon map? How can it serve as a basis for strategic work on carbon storage, land use, and soil improvement? What opportunities and challenges are there with the carbon maps that can be produced today?
