Today, Microsoft joins the #CarbonCall as a participating organization and signatory. With ClimateWorks Foundation Foundation and others, we are working to build reliable carbon accounting for the planet. msft.it/6011wE17R

Today, KPMG is proud to join the launch of the #CarbonCall, an initiative to build reliable & interoperable carbon accounting for the planet 🌎🌍 hosted by ClimateWorks Foundation Foundation. carboncall.org

Pleased to announce that UN Environment Programme is collaborating in this pioneering initiative as part of our new #DigitalTransformation portfolio carboncall.org Inger Andersen Dirk Messner Amy Luers ClimateWorks Foundation International Science Council United Nations Foundation Steven Ramage Yu Ping Chan

If you're at #GreenBiz22 next week, I hope you'll enjoy listening to, and learning from, our Wednesday morning (10:40am to 11:00am) Keynote session. events.greenbiz.com/events/greenbi… @WBCSD UN Climate Change #ClimateEmergency #CDCs #COP26

At #COP26, @WBCSD launched the Business Manifesto for Climate Recovery — calling for the development of a new Corporate Determined Contributions framework. In today's #GreenBiz22 keynote, Joel Makower, Microsoft, @Goodyear, and I discussed the opportunities. wbcsd.org/Programs/Clima…

Loved seeing @WBCSD member company Microsoft in action at #GreenBiz22 — Danielle Decatur, Jim Hanna, Michelle Lancaster and @AmyLuers. Remember to check out #CarbonCall — accelerating measurement, reporting, and verification of GHG emissions and removal. carboncall.org

Temporary nature-based carbon removal can lower peak warming but only if we also stop burning fossil fuels See our recent paper nature.com/articles/s4324… Damon Matthews Amy Luers Mitchell Dickau Sabine Mathesius 🕊️ home.social/@sabinema SFU Research SFU Department of Geography SFU Faculty of Environment

Bien que la reforestation puisse être bénéfique pour stocker temporairement le carbone, les objectifs de #carboneutralité ne pourront être atteints que si l’on cesse d’utiliser les combustibles fossiles, selon Damon Matthews et Amy Luers de Concordia University. theconversation.com/climat-on-doit…

1/4 Zeke Hausfather, in his opinion in The New York Times, correctly argues humanity cannot rely on trees for permanent carbon removal. 𝘐 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦. However, humanity must rely on trees and other natural systems for tackling the climate crisis. nytimes.com/2022/06/04/opi…

2/4 Protecting and restoring forests can reduce peak warming and build climate resilience. But there is a catch: Temporary storage of carbon in trees only decreases peak warming if fossil fuel emissions to near zero. (lnkd.in/gzV9vmfd)

3/4 The climate crisis requires: (1) Cut emissions of GHG emissions to near zero by mid-century & (2) Invest in nature for carbon removal and storage, and climate resilience & (3) Invest in permanent carbon removal tech, to enable scale deployment within a couple of decades.

4/4 Trees are not permanent, but trees, forests, and nature are necessary for managing the climate crisis. 𝙒𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙧𝙮

On the critical need for reliable carbon accounting, this week in Nature: nature.com/articles/d4158… Amy Luers lucasjoppa National Academies Microsoft Research #ClimateCrisis #GHG

New nature comment led by Amy Luers of Microsoft and @LeehiYona of @StanfordEarth reveals 5 fixes to make carbon accounting more accurate: go.nature.com/3z883RR

The current methods of greenhouse-gas accounting are broken. Thanks to @amyleurs and coauthors we have a new article in nature outlining the need for reliable, interoperable systems. This needs to be the foundation of a net zero carbon economy. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Wow >50% of respondents to our global survey are open to the use carbon-budgets & digital tracking to help address #climatecrisis 🌍🔥except in N. America Let’s start talking about if/how these tools can be used in a just & equitable transition authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S25… Amy Luers

When it comes to tackling climate change, we believe we cannot manage what we cannot measure. This is where environmental accounting and reporting comes in. We had @AmyLuers, Microsoft's Global Director of Sustainability Science, break it all down for us. 🧵⬇️
