Natural climate solutions can reduce 11% of Canada’s emissions (up to 78 MTCO2e per year) - new study by @natureunited_ca, the @nature_org of Canada, just released today. cc @cathmckenna @ElizabethMay @JonathanWNV @DavidSuzukiFDN natureunited.ca/what-we-do/our…
When we hear "Canada" we usually think "forests" ... but the analysis found the greatest potential for carbon storage in our agricultural lands through cover crops, nutrient management, agroforestry and more, with additional contributions from wetlands + grasslands. 
In Canada we have a national + rapidly increasing price on carbon; so the study also looked at which measures are currently affordable & which will become affordable as carbon prices rise over the next decade.
There is no 'silver bullet' when it comes to climate sol'ns but there is a lot of 'silver buckshot' & this study is yet another reminder of the benefits of factoring nature into our plans, working with her rather than against her. (PS. I need a better metaphor. Ideas?)
