Join the Natural Climate Solutions Initiative for a discussion with David Coomes, Professor of Forest Ecology and Conservation at Cambridge University.

Rapid decarbonization and conservation are both essential to addressing climate change, with tropical forests playing a critical role in achieving net-zero emissions.

Drawing on research from the Cambridge Centre for Carbon Credits (4C), Coomes will explore how forest-based nature-based climate solutions seek to reduce deforestation and restore degraded landscapes through credible carbon markets —and why these approaches have struggled to scale.

Speakers:
Dr. David Coomes, University of Cambridge. 
David Coomes is a multidisciplinary scientist dedicated to nature protection and ecosystem restoration. As the Professor of Forest Ecology and Conservation at Cambridge University, he leads two significant research initiatives: the NERC Centre for Landscape Regeneration, which explores nature-based solutions in the UK, and the University's Centre for Earth Observation. His work bridges the gap between ecological research and practical conservation efforts.

Moderated by Professor Adam Pellegrini, Assistant Professor in Earth Systems Science, Stanford University.
