Betsy Taylor will share how natural climate solutions involve actions to protect, better manage and restore nature to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and sequester and store carbon. These solutions can provide up to 37% of the global emission reductions needed by 2030 to keep global temperatures under 2 degrees Celsius.

Betsy's work with the Volgenau Climate Initiative and in philanthropy involves advancing this field in the United States. She will provide a brief overview of some of the promising initiatives in the United States to regenerate and conserve natural systems as a way to pull carbon pollution out of the atmosphere and sequester it in our forests, soils, and wetlands.
