Episode 33: Climate Change Mitigation

We are facing a climate emergency; we are in fact in a climate crisis.  So for today’s presentation, we are going to talk about mitigation- that is, how we can lessen the adverse effects and impacts of climate change.  

 

When we talk about mitigation, there are many topics that can come up- from reducing emissions generally, to increasing our planet’s ability to sequester and store carbon.  But today we are going to focus on our forests here in the Pacific Northwest and talk about the Role of Our Forests in Combating Climate Change.  Specifically, we want to focus on our region here in southwestern Oregon and the management of public forest lands with respect to climate change mitigation.
