Climate change discussions often mention “carbon,” but carbon actually exists in different forms that affect our planet in different ways. 🌍
Black Carbon comes from incomplete burning of fuels and strongly warms the atmosphere.
Brown Carbon comes from biomass burning and also contributes to atmospheric heating.
Blue Carbon is the carbon stored in coastal and marine ecosystems, helping regulate the climate.
Green Carbon is stored in forests, plants, and soils on land.
Red Carbon refers to biological material on snow and ice that can accelerate melting.
Grey Carbon is linked to emissions from fossil fuel–based industries.
Understanding these different types of carbon helps us see how nature stores carbon and how human activities release it. Protecting ecosystems, restoring soils, and reducing pollution are all important steps toward a healthier climate. 🌱
At ResClime, we believe regenerative agriculture and ecosystem restoration are part of the solution for building climate resilience and sustainable livelihoods.
