dc.description.abstractClimate change is an existential global crisis informed by clear scientific consensus. It is altering precipitation patterns, temperature, and rates of sea-level rise and will impact nearly all our natural resources and developed areas. A coordinated effort to decrease greenhouse gas emissions locally and globally is needed to slow the rate of global warming. New Jersey has made great strides in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels for energy generation. The Natural and Working Lands Strategy (NWLS) is our blueprint for enhancing carbon sequestration across New Jersey's diverse landscapes, aiming to boost the capture of carbon dioxide on both public and private lands, including wetlands, aquatic habitats, agricultural areas, and forests. New Jersey is committed to significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. To achieve our goal of an 80% reduction in emissions from 2006 levels by 2050, we not only need to cut emissions but also enhance our carbon sequestration efforts. The NWLS provides a plan to help us reach this goal.
