| Inland water: an overlooked source of greenhouse gases |
|
With every record-breaking summer or unprecedented weather event, the need to understand and reduce our carbon emissions grows increasingly urgent. But not all greenhouse gases come from smokestacks and exhaust pipes. From methane bubbles to carbon dioxide diffusion, our planet’s freshwater systems are a significant, if under recognized, source of carbon. How can we better quantify these freshwater emissions? And is there anything we can to do to mitigate them? |

CGIAR Initiative on NEXUS Gains December 20 2022
With every record-breaking summer or unprecedented weather event, the need to understand and reduce our carbon emissions grows increasingly urgent. But not all greenhouse gases come from smokestacks and exhaust pipes. From methane bubbles to carbon dioxide diffusion, our planet’s freshwater systems are a significant, if under recognized, source of carbon. How can we better quantify these freshwater emissions? And is there anything we can to do to mitigate them?
These questions were explored during NEXUS Gains’ latest webinar, “Carbon emissions from inland water”. The event, held on December 8, was the seventh in a series introducing NEXUS Gains and its aim to realize multiple benefits across water, energy, food and the environment. It was facilitated by Matthew McCartney, Research Group Leader in Sustainable Water Infrastructure and Ecosystems at the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and NEXUS Gains Lead.
