This month on #SDIspotlight we are talking about Carbin Sinks, both natural and artificial, and their role in combating climate change!

Natural sinks like forests, oceans, and soil absorb about half of human emissions but are threatened by deforestation and pollution.

SDI had the opportunity to be at @COP29_AZ last month.

The opportunity has led to exciting conversations with potential for collaborations with many organisations working towards creating a greener, safer, and more equitable world.

We are excited to see what the future holds.
