Compelling opportunities to adapt exist within the agriculture, forestry and municipal waste sectors, among many others. By completing the life cycle produced from these three sectors, representing both natural and managed resources, we find opportunities for climate adaptation and mitigation. In collecting waste efficiently and converting it to energy, we can safeguard the sectors from climate impacts, deliver clean energy, improve air and water quality, create jobs, and reduce climate forcing emissions. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
