ClimateWorks Foundation’s Post

Imagine the world in 2050, powered by a global green economy that enables healthy lives, good jobs, and a thriving planet. For #philanthropy, the urgency to help make this world possible and work toward a safer climate for all has never been greater. That’s why ClimateWorks Foundation is introducing a new series of #impact stories that spotlight the diverse and expanding community of global changemakers driving transformative climate progress. Read these stories to learn how philanthropy can collaborate to push for even bolder #ClimateAction. ⬇ https://lnkd.in/dtpRQm7a

#DYK seaweed farming is the quickest-growing sector in #aquaculture?   Our #CDR program funds seaweed research because it acts as an ocean-based forest, absorbing #CarbonDioxide and storing it when it falls to the sea floor. That's why we're thrilled to spotlight our grantee's interactive StoryMap, "Growing Seaweed in the Golden State." 🌊   In this resource, California Ocean Science Trust explores #SeaweedFarms and research across California, providing valuable insights into the industry’s current state and the science behind seaweed aquaculture. You'll also find stories and perspectives from researchers and practitioners in the field.   👀 Check out the interactive content: https://lnkd.in/gAXHmiUp #CarbonDioxideRemoval #ClimateAction

💡 New report: “Removing Methane via Atmospheric Oxidation Enhancement: The Legal Framework,” outlines international and U.S. laws related to Atmospheric Oxidation Enhancement approaches, including the release of iron salt or other aerosols on land, ships, or aircraft. Methane, a potent #GreenhouseGas, traps 86 times more heat than #CarbonDioxide over the first 20 years. That's why our collaboration with the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law is an important step in addressing the challenges of atmospheric #methane removal and accelerating scalable climate solutions. 👉 Check out the blog: https://lnkd.in/gXjsbBEb 👉 Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/gXpRzRBc
