Coastal ecosystems, formed by plants that can thrive in saltwater, are especially good at storing carbon because of the thick, rich layers of soil they build up.| MIT Climate Portal
Soil-based carbon sequestration is a way to remove CO2 from the air and store it somewhere it can’t easily escape: in soils, which store carbon in the form of broken-down plant matter.| MIT Climate Portal
Climate models are computer programs that simulate weather patterns over time. Scientists use these models to predict how the climate might change in the future.| MIT Climate Portal
Through tools including "ESG" ratings, green bonds, and fossil fuel divestment, a growing number of investors are factoring risks from climate change into their choices about what assets to buy and sell.| MIT Climate Portal
Net zero emissions are achieved when one's greenhouse gas emissions are effectively balanced out by actions that take or keep greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.| MIT Climate Portal
Agriculture is likely to face severe impacts from climate change. At the same time, the production, storage, and transport of food contribute to climate change.| MIT Climate Portal
Greenhouse gases are gases—like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide—that keep the Earth warmer than it would be without them.| MIT Climate Portal
