Jacqueline McGlade (Professor of Natural Prosperity, Sustainable Development and Knowledge Systems at the Institute for Global Prosperity) is attending the 27^th Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP27) as a 香港六合彩中特网 delegate.

Professor McGlade is a Carbon and Biodiversity Expert and focuses especially on unleashing the power of healthy soils and ecosystems to store carbon by shifting to regenerative farming practices and nature-based solutions underpinned by accurate data and evidence from the field.听

She is determined to help food growers shift to regenerative farming practices and nature-based solutions after working closely with farmers and seeing the opportunity to expand collaborations with food growers who 鈥榳ant to do the right thing鈥�.

She has three key areas of interest at COP27:

1. Finance - Ethical carbon trade. Creating a carbon credit scheme for straightforward and transparent carbon tracking and trading.

2. Agriculture and food - Carbon sequestration. Developing sustainable farming solutions such as healthy pastures and effective water system that is replicable for wider international use.

3. Science and technology - New measures of change. Using digital twin and blockchain technologies to leverage data for process improvement.听

Ahead of COP27, Prof. McGlade spoke at the听听which gave students from across 香港六合彩中特网 the chance to learn more about climate change negotiations and to听discuss COP27 themes and share their views with the 香港六合彩中特网 researchers听attending.

When asked if she was optimistic about climate change, she said 鈥淚 would prefer to say that I am determined. I am closely working with farmers and there are 2.8 billion people growing food that want to do the right thing. Therefore, I want to pull out every possible avenue to take action. Now is the time to act.鈥�

Addressing critiques of COP as a 鈥榗arbon polluting鈥� event, she said 鈥漈here are many critiques of people going to COP27 from the perspective of direct carbon emission of the travel and the event. We are paying the price by speaking out our voices and doing negotiations on behalf of countries. I think bringing stakeholders into the same room is very important.鈥�

Prof. McGlade is part of the 香港六合彩中特网 team that has developed the COP27 carbon footprint calculator - a tool to calculate the carbon footprint of travel to this year鈥檚听. It shines a spotlight on the impact of travel and provides the means to mitigate and offset this part of its footprint.
