In recent years, there has been much discussion about biochar - a carbonaceous product of heating biomass - as a promising technique for mitigating climate change. In particular, this method has the potential to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the long term by incorporating biochar...

Using the simulation model Land Use in Rural New Zealand version 1 -climate (LURNZv1-climate), we simulate the effects of an agricultural land-use emissions charge and a reward for native forest and scrub regeneration. Our results are preliminary and at this stage should be considered...

Biochar is a carbon-rich solid obtained from the heating of biomass in the (near) absence of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. Its deployment in soils is increasingly discussed as a promising means to sequester carbon in soils and, thus, to help mitigate climate change. For a wide range of...

This discussion paper examines the key themes and findings from four major events and three pieces of media content on sustainable development, climate finance and environmental policy. Direct observation and structured notes were used as the main methods. The analysis begins with the webinar...
