Looking forward to working with a small group of MBA students at Newcastle University Business School on a business idea for a nature-based insulation that can also store a high level of carbon. It's a very international group - China, Iran, Japan, Nigeria & UK. @UniofNewcastle

@MathewsFiona One very specific reason for planting trees is to grow timber to use in construction to replace concrete which is responsible for 8% global carbon emissions. The timber also goes on storing carbon even after it is felled. Meanwhile new tree planting sequesters more carbon.

RT @Rainmaker1973: In Gujarat, India, a project launched in 2012 is aimed to use the 532 km long network of Narmada canals across the state for installing solar panels & generate electricity. A solution that saves land, reduces evaporative losses & keeps solar panels cooler https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200803-the-solar-canals-revolutionising-indias-renewable-energy https://t.co/FQ6lakw0us

By only supporting permanent removals (which we haven't mastered yet) Carbon Market Watch are failing to recognise the significant role long term carbon storage in products can already achieve https://blog.foster.uw.edu/aureus-earth-uw-carbon-offset-mass-timber-building/ #removals #CarbonRemovals @woelken

You're wrong. Removing carbon from the atmosphere for 50, 75, 100 years while not permanent is still desperately needed & should be supported via gold standard offsetting schemes as suggested by the Commission. It's started in the USA & is coming to Europe https://blog.foster.uw.edu/aureus-earth-uw-carbon-offset-mass-timber-building/

RT @GFDRR: How can we assess the benefits and costs of nature-based solutions (NBS)?

We developed this guide — which includes 8 case studies based on @WorldBank projects — to help project developers assess and articulate the value of NBS across different sectors. https://wrld.bg/prIC50Ox9xm https://t.co/PDAuN4kVOZ

RT @andyheald: There is a perception that woodland creation & tree planting 🌳🌲in Scotland is increasing yr on yr.
Over last 4 yrs it has plateaued.

Target is 18,000Ha in 2025 vs c.10,500Ha now.

@theCCCuk raised concerns in their report (P.26) to Govt. in Dec'22 ⬇️

RT @ramskirism: Finally got to see this 50 acre field in real life! Rows a mixture of apples, pears and elderflower with a wheat and chicken rotation planned for in-between. Until recently, the rows were sub leased from tenant farmer, an interesting model which has much wider potential! https://t.co/teBqmcCQEF

Impressive display of buttercups on the Town Moor in Newcastle today. The cows were slightly out of shot and further away. Amazing that this scene is only one and half miles from the city centre of Newcastle. The largest open space closest to a city centre in Europe.

I’m presuming this is the good work of ⁦@N_landCouncil⁩ approaching Ponteland. Grass cut short next to road for visibility & pedestrian use. Left to grow (no mow May) next to the hedge. Thank you from the insects. Looks good too.

RT @Agroforestry: 🌳Can Farming With Trees Save the Food System?

In the 🇺🇸, unprecedented funding is flowing into a broad range of #agroforestry practices, which can pull carbon out of the atmosphere and build farm resilience as the #climate changes.

@KiraTaylor15 There's a lot of biomass for energy being used and there could be more. Not everyone thinks it's green but it is certainly renewable. And with large tracks of EU land under used / no longer farmed there is the opportunity to plant more including in an agroforestry setting.
