The Narwhal: From extractive to regenerative: experts highlight benefits of nature-based climate solutions. Panelists across the country shared success stories during The Narwhal’s online event on the role of Canada’s natural landscapes in the fight against climate change.
Canada’s forests, wetlands, grasslands and farmlands stole the show during a live panel discussion hosted online by The Narwhal on Tuesday.
“The natural landscape contains a vast amount of carbon and by cutting down trees and digging up wetlands, we’re releasing that carbon,” The Narwhal’s editor-in-chief Emma Gilchrist said during her opening remarks.
The event, which drew more than 1,000 live attendees, offered a look behind the scenes of The Narwhal’s Carbon Cache series on the role of nature-based solutions in addressing the climate crisis — an approach the Canadian government committed $3.9 billion toward in the fall 2020 economic statement.
