Woodwell turns rigorous scientific knowledge into innovative solutions that address the challenges of climate change today and in the years to come. By putting them to work locally, we learn what works, how it can inform policy, and where it can make an impact on a global scale.

Reducing emissions means keeping more carbon out of the atmosphere. Woodwell studies how carbon moves through forests, soils, and other ecosystems and develops solutions that reduce emissions and keep more carbon stored in the land.

The impact of climate change is already being felt, making both long-term mitigation and near-term adaptation essential. Woodwell works directly with communities to provide tailored climate risk data on the threats they face, including heat, drought, fire, and flooding, helping them prepare for change and build resilience.
Climate changes everything. For businesses, understanding the risks inherent with climate change can be the difference between a sound financial decision and catastrophic loss. Woodwell turns climate science into actionable information organizations can use to understand their exposure, prepare for disruptions, and make more informed long-term plans.

How we manage and care for the land can either add carbon to the atmosphere or keep more of it stored safely below ground. Woodwell studies what works and helps land managers put that science into practices to help protect ecosystems and reduce emissions.

Good climate policy depends on good evidence. Woodwell brings a nonpartisan approach to climate risk and problem-solving, helping policymakers turn science into action at the national and international levels.
Woodwell exists to maximize awareness of climate risk and develop solutions that can scale. We make much of our research and data available to communities, businesses, and policymakers, and work directly with them to put that science to work for greater impact.

The best climate solutions have to work for the people who live with them. Woodwell works alongside communities to bring local knowledge and climate science together, developing solutions that address immediate needs, and build resilience over time.
