A short reading from ‘Project Drawdown’ that discusses climate solutions for the Land Sinks Sector. It lists different solutions by the land sinks sector towards addressing the climate crisis such as:

1. Address waste and diets by consuming plant rich diets and reducing food waste
2. Protect and restore ecosystems like grasslands, peatlands and forests
3. Shift to practices like agroforestry and pasture cropping to enhance carbon sequestration
4. Reuse degraded land to revive its productivity and increase biomass

This reading includes specific solutions from each sub-sector within the coastal and ocean sinks sector. These solutions are based on adaptation scenarios, financial models, and are integrated with other solutions. They also include discussions related to each sub-sector.

Climate solutions for the coastal and ocean sinks sector included in the reading are:

1. Abandoned Farmland Restoration
2. Bamboo Production
3. Conservation Agriculture
4. Forest Protection
5. Grassland Protection
6. Improved Rice Production
7. Indigenous Peoples’ Forest Tenure
8. Managed Grazing
9. Multistrata Agroforestry
10. Peatland Protection and Rewetting
11. Perennial Biomass Production
12. Perennial Staple Crops
13. Plant-Rich Diets
14. Reduced Food Waste
15. Regenerative Annual Cropping
16. Silvopasture
17. Sustainable Intensification for Smallholders
18. System of Rice Intensification
19. Temperate Forest Restoration
20. Tree Intercropping
21. Tree Plantations
22. Tropical Forest Restoration

Students will learn about climate solutions from the coastal and ocean sinks sector and sub-sectors.
