DESCRIPTION:Join the Natural Climate Solutions Initiative for a discussion 
 with David Coomes\, Professor of Forest Ecology and Conservation at Cambri
 dge University.\n\nRapid decarbonization and conservation are both essenti
 al to addressing climate change\, with tropical forests playing a critical
  role in achieving net-zero emissions.\n\nDrawing on research from the Cam
 bridge Centre for Carbon Credits (4C)\, Coomes will explore how forest-bas
 ed nature-based climate solutions seek to reduce deforestation and restore
  degraded landscapes through credible carbon markets —and why these appr
 oaches have struggled to scale. \n\nFor more information\, contact: toshea
 @stanford.edu.\n\nSpeakers:\nDr. David Coomes\, University of Cambridge. \
 nDavid Coomes is a multidisciplinary scientist dedicated to nature protect
 ion and ecosystem restoration. As the Professor of Forest Ecology and Cons
 ervation at Cambridge University\, he leads two significant research initi
 atives: the NERC Centre for Landscape Regeneration\, which explores nature
 -based solutions in the UK\, and the University's Centre for Earth Observa
 tion. His work bridges the gap between ecological research and practical c
 onservation efforts.\n\nModerated by Professor Adam Pellegrini\, Assistant
  Professor in Earth Systems Science\, Stanford University.
