🌳New update to the LEARN Tool!
We’ve enhanced how our Landscape Emissions and Removals Navigator (LEARN) captures the climate impacts of forest thinning and logging, giving U.S. communities a more nuanced picture of emissions on the ground.

By better distinguishing between low- and high-intensity harvests using tree canopy cover change, the tool can now apply emissions factors that better reflect disturbance severity.

Agriculture is expanding faster into grasslands, savannas & wetlands than forests—but these ecosystems are often being overlooked by companies.

New research from Land & Carbon Lab, @WorldResources, Rainforest Alliance and the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre shows that grasslands, savannas & wetlands are being converted to crops and pasture at nearly 4x the rate of forests.

Since 2000, the world’s topsoils have lost an estimated 11 billion tonnes of carbon. Much of that loss is linked to land use changes such as deforestation. New soil carbon dynamics maps are helping show these changes.

🌱 Soil is one of the planet’s largest carbon reservoirs but understanding how soil carbon is changing over time has remained a major challenge.
New soil carbon dynamics maps are helping change that.

🌍 Which crops are driving ecosystem conversion beyond forests?
Our new global analysis shows that crop expansion accounts for about 1/2 of non-forest ecosystem conversion across grasslands, wetlands and savannas.

🌾 Agriculture isn’t only replacing forests.
Between 2005–2020, non-forest ecosystems were converted to annual crops and pasture at roughly four times the rate of forests, totaling an area nearly as large as Indonesia.

New maps developed by @Cornell in collaboration with Land & Carbon Lab highlight where emissions from crop farming are greatest and how they vary across countries and regions. 🚜🌾
So where are those emissions coming from most?

What’s the climate cost of growing crops?
New global maps developed by @Cornell in collaboration w/ Land & Carbon Lab reveal that croplands emitted nearly 5% of GHG emissions in 2020, w/ crop farming accounting for 2.5 gigatons of COâ‚‚e.
