The Nature Conservancy
Climate Action Through Conservation
The resulting analysis will include: a comparison of Colorado鈥檚 carbon storage with global values, models of carbon gain and loss under different management scenarios, an assessment of policy relationships with land management practices, and policy recommendations for improving sequestration efforts in Colorado. Ultimately, we aim to complete a whitepaper for our advisors at TNC Colorado, as well as publish a peer-reviewed journal article of our findings. Our research will have value in informing The Nature Conservancy and policymakers in Colorado about preferred conservation actions for mitigating climate change.
