In order to effectively combat global climate change, we need to understand the barriers and opportunities to carbon removal strategies on local levels. We need to link global models to local action. Our Climate Restoration Initiative will evaluate the full potential for carbon removal strategies to mitigate climate change and their costs and benefits for the state of Virginia and its citizens. An accessible mapping tool will benefit carbon accounting, forecasting, and decision support to help leaders and policymakers understand emerging carbon removal strategies and the barriers and benefits in their home region.
