He will speak about the potential role of nature-based climate solutions: efforts to leverage natural systems to store and sequester carbon while also contributing to other environmental and social goals. In this context, he will present some recent research showing that investing in natural systems has climate value, but that this value is of a different character than fossil fuel emissions reductions, raising questions about the appropriate use of carbon offsets as a contribution to climate mitigation goals.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-7262 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cuids\/wp-content\/uploads\/D.-Matthews-160x173.jpg\" alt=\"Profile Picture of D.
