Webinar: State Blue Carbon Action in California, North Carolina, & New Jersey
Date/Time: Thursday, April 25, 2024, 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET
Coastal wetlands—including salt marshes, tidal forested wetlands, and seagrasses—can sequester more carbon per acre than inland forests, making them some of the world’s most effective natural carbon sinks. So, states are increasingly incorporating the protection and restoration of these “blue carbon” habitats into their broader initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet their climate change goals.
Although states use different approaches to incorporating coastal wetlands into their climate planning, some common elements are high-level leadership and policy goals, quality data and established methodologies for understanding blue carbon trends, and partnerships for effective implementation.
Please join The Pew Charitable Trusts’ next Blue Carbon Network webinar on April 25, 2024, at 1 p.m. EDT to learn more about three states’—California, North Carolina, and New Jersey—efforts to protect and restore blue carbon habitats and how those states are leveraging federal programs to support their work.
