Alongside the steep reductions needed in fossil fuel emissions, natural climate solutions (NCS) represent readily deployable options that can contribute to Canada’s goals for emission reductions. We estimate the mitigation potential of 24 NCS related to the protection, management, and restoration of natural systems that can also deliver numerous co-benefits, such as enhanced soil productivity, clean air and water, and biodiversity conservation. NCS can provide up to 78.2 (41.0 to 115.1) Tg CO2e/year (95% CI) of mitigation annually in 2030 and 394.4 (173.2 to 612.4) Tg CO2e cumulatively between 2021 and 2030, with 34% available at ≤CAD 50/Mg CO2e. Avoided conversion of grassland, avoided peatland disturbance, cover crops, and improved forest management offer the largest mitigation opportunities. The mitigation identified here represents an important potential contribution to the Paris Agreement, such that NCS combined with existing mitigation plans could help Canada to meet or excee

A NUCLEAR power station in Somerset is expecting to create 1,700 new jobs over the next year. Hinkley Point C s 2021 socio-economic impact report also highlights the project has spent £3.2billion with South West based businesses - more than twice the initial target. The 1,700 new roles will be in construction, welding, electrical, equipment installation and more, and they are hoping these will help the South West recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. Managing director of Hinkley Point C, Stuart Crooks, said the report shows the project is able to help create jobs and opportunity - as well as fight against climate change. As we come out of the pandemic, we hope to safely increase the numbers working on the project and create jobs just as they are needed most, he said.
