Biochar: Negative Emission Technologies are nice to the environment part two.
Abstract
In this follow up project we want to build on our successes and lessons learnt from the current project and further communicate our FWF funded and further biochar research findings to a wider public through a participation model of communication. Making the public aware of nature-based negative emission technologies (NETs), specifically this year we want to make tangible links to the Paris-COP (Conference of the Parties) Four per Mille campaign, which is an International Soils for Food Security and Climate Change initiative, which promotes soil based carbon sequestration as one of a basket of measures to alleviate the impacts of climate change. Biochar addition to soil fits well into this framework as a viable climate change combating strategy. By making links with this global initiative we want further engage the public in a horizontal dialogue on climate change and inspire attitude and behavioral changes, working both at local and global scales. In particular we want to highlight and publicize the role science plays in ensuring that these potential technologies are risk free and good for humanity, and are grounded in evidence based findings.
