To limit warming to 1.5°C, global emissions need to be reduced at scale. But the protection and restoration of nature will also be vital to climate solutions.

Nature and land use is complex, so measurement is a crucial element in understanding both the size of the challenge and the solutions required to meet climate and nature related goals.

This webinar will examine how nature and land use can be part of the climate solution.

One framework assesses environmental indicators to track Australia's progress, and how it might do better. 

Romy Zyngier, senior research manager for land use futures at Climateworks, will present the center's latest research based on the landmark "planetary boundaries" framework, adapting it to the Australian context and what these boundaries mean for the country’s land use sector, including agriculture and forestry, among others. 

Another initiative is creating a consistent way to measure natural assets, so it can play a bigger role in the solution.

Katie Hammer, Climateworks' program impact manager for natural capital, will present the center's Natural Capital Investment Initiative, which works across Australia and within global nature-based frameworks to find comparable measurement systems covering all key aspects of nature and create the incentives for land managers to use them.

This webinar is part of Climateworks' Briefing Room webinar series.
