Research Paper: High-Resolution forest carbon mapping for climate mitigation baselines over the RGGI region, USA
This article, published in 2021, details the results of an aboveground biomass analysis which built upon efforts to link airborne lidar data, National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery, and USDA Forest Service Inventory and Analysis (FIA) plot measurements through predictive algorithms. This research generated a 30-by-30 meter resolution “map” of aboveground carbon stock across 11 states in the Eastern US.

Nature and Net Zero
This report, written by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with McKinsey & Company, addresses the role of natural climate solutions in corporate net zero commitments, as well as the role of natural climate solutions in COVID-19 economic recovery plans. The report finds that the demand for natural climate solutions as a component of corporate net zero commitments is increasing, and that avoided deforestation, reforestation, and peatland restorations can deliver significant emissions abatement over the next decade.
