Plan Sea: Ocean Interventions to Address Climate Change
“Plan Sea” focuses on ocean-based climate solutions that seek to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (carbon dioxide removal) or reduce incoming solar radiation (solar radiation modification). The podcast scrutinizes risks and benefits of these options, as well as matters of governance, stakeholder engagement, ethics, and politics.
Plan Sea: Ocean Interventions to Address Climate Change
Steve Crooks and Elizabeth Guinessey on The Seascape Initiative
Our inaugural episode is a critical one and one in which host Wil Burns explores often throughout this podcast how we qualify, verify, and report claims of carbon sequestration from ocean-based approaches. Wil is joined by two experts in the field, Steve Crooks, who is the co-founder at the consultancy Sylvestrum Climate Associates as well as a research associate with the Smithsonian Institution, and Elizabeth Guinessey, who is the manager of the Food and Blue Carbon Innovation node at Verra, which is a non-profit organization that among other roles, serves as a secretariat for the development and management of carbon market protocols.
The conversation centers around the new Seascape Initiative and its potential role in carbon dioxide removal.
