Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture

Advancing Natural Solutions to Climate Change

At the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture we seek to better understand how natural Earth systems can be enhanced to create safe, effective, and scalable strategies to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations while offering meaningful social and ecological co-benefits.

Carbon capture represents a quickly evolving area with the potential to make significant impact in mitigating the effects of human-caused environmental disruption. A generous gift from FedEx enabled this work to grow.

This Center was initiated as part of the original Planetary Solutions Project, the broad effort to enhance collaborative research and education to address climate change, biodiversity loss, and planetary health that has evolved into Yale Planetary Solutions.
