123 | Validating Natural Climate Solutions with Better Data
In the United States, conversations about solutions to climate change often revolve around reducing fossil fuel emissions from human activities. But many believe regenerative agricultural practices and other nature-based solutions\u2014which use soil and plants and try to either prevent or capture emissions\u2014should complement policies and programs to reduce emissions from vehicles and power plants. As the nature-based climate solutions mature, public and private organizations that invest in them will need ways to measure their impact.\n\nIn an interview with Mathematica\u2019s On the Evidence podcast, Dr. Jenny Soong, a soil biogeochemist within Mathematica\u2019s interdisciplinary climate practice, explains how better measurement, better data collection, and better web-based decision support tools could ensure the effective implementation of regenerative agriculture and other nature-based climate solutions.\n\nFind a full transcript of the episode at mathematica.org/ontheevidence.\n\nLearn more about Mathematica\u2019s interdisciplinary climate practice: https://www.mathematica.org/sp/climate-change/climate-action
