Sonoma County Carbon Stock Inventory and Potential Sequestration Study

The purpose of this Carbon Inventory and Sequestration Potential Study is to establish the first detailed quantitative estimate of Sonoma County’s historical and existing carbon stocks and changes over time. This is a critical first step in meeting local, State, and national climate goals as it identifies baseline conditions, and methods for identifying changes in carbon stocks over time. The Study also assesses the potential impact of climate smart practices, and ultimately identifies a set of measures and actions for the County and key stakeholders to consider for implementation across Sonoma County’s rich and varied landscapes.
