forests, soil and oceans while reducing net greenhouse gas emissions from these systems. The idea of large potential increases in carbon stocks within the biosphere has led to bold proposals with varying levels of science-based understanding of the realizable
scale, efficacy or potential tradeoffs involved. The situation risks under-delivering on the climate benefits possible by drawing attention and investment to efforts with limited or even damaging impacts.

The overall intent of this project is to address two of the largest barriers to effective carbon credit markets: lack of clear scientific understanding and consensus on the realizable carbon storage or removal potential of the vast array of natural carbon
sinks, and lack of market confidence in the integrity of carbon credits available for purchase. The NbCS team conducts research and convenes stakeholders to find agreement on the science,

carbon storage most quickly because of the scale of the potential storage and the current interest in those credits. These include the management, use and protection of tropical and temperate forests, agricultural soils, and oceans.

The fellow will identify, convene and collaborate with experts to develop an initial scientific consensus on the status of knowledge, priorities for improved scientific understanding, and preliminary recommendations related to the potential benefits and the
risks of possible interventions to accelerate the ocean biological pump. In addition to individual research products and publications, the fellow will work with members of the EDF Oceans Science Team to draft an initial strategy for EDF engagement on oceanic
blue carbon and work to build partnerships and constituencies for high-quality ocean carbon storage.
