Climate Term Crash Course
Not sure what a climate term means or ready to take action on something? Crash course is here to help.
What’s Blue carbon?: Carbon that is captured and stored by oceans and coastal ecosystems, like sea grasses and marshes. These ecosystems can collect carbon out of the atmosphere much faster than forests and for millions of years, but when they are damaged, they release a lot of that carbon back into the atmosphere, where it contributes to climate change. By protecting and restoring these habitats, we reduce climate change.
