Fossil fuel burning yielding the greenhouse gas (GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major component of man-made global warming. In relation to carbon pollution from the burning of fossil fuels, Net Carbon Debt is equal to the Historical Carbon Debt (from fossil fuel burning since the start of the Industrial Revolution in circa 1750) minus the Carbon Credit (the residual carbon pollution from fossil fuel burning permitted between now and zero emissions in 2050).

This is the model the Conservancy and the cross-sector partners we work with apply to our efforts — whether it’s participating in Governor Andrew Cuomo’s 2100 Commission focused on better protecting New York, bringing our Coastal Resilience mapping tool to risk planning in the Gulf of Mexico, or working with the fishers, businesses and local leaders in Grenada to strengthen the natural systems that help protect their lives and property.

For example, through our partnership with the government of Grenada – an island nation in the Caribbean – TNC is implementing a pilot project that will demonstrate to decision-makers the potential of natural infrastructure. Last year, we installed special structures in the water to foster coral reef growth – and break waves – along 30 meters of Grenada’s economically critical shoreline. Show us the data. That’s what I hear almost every time I work with decision-makers. MORE

The beach is disappearing in Grenville, Grenada and many coastal communities around the world face a similar situation. Pilot hybrid or ‘artificial’ reef structures, built with steel cages and filled with stones and cement, were installed in 2015 in Grenville Bay, Grenada to protect a vulnerable coastline from strong wave action and the impacts from climate change, such as severe erosion.
