Quantifying Climate Change Mitigation Potential of Nature-based Carbon Sequestration and Storage in U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Lands

This report was developed by The Water Institute (the Institute) for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Engineering With Nature® (EWN) Initiative.

The EWN Initiative works toward better integration and alignment of traditional infrastructure approaches with nature-based solutions (NBS). This document is produced as part of a collaborative effort between the Institute and ERDC to develop an analytical framework to quantify the climate change mitigation potential of nature-based carbon capture and storage of U.S. Department of Defense lands.
