On April 10, 2024, Duke Farms, a center for the Doris Duke Foundation, in partnership with the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, the New Jersey Climate Change Alliance, and the New Jersey Farm Bureau, convened a diverse group of over 60 stakeholders to explore the potential for New Jersey’s natural and working agricultural lands to accelerate climate change mitigation (including emissions reduction, adaptation and resilience). The day-long Climate Summit fostered dynamic discussions on the challenges and opportunities in leveraging these lands to enhance ecosystem services, support farm viability, and contribute to the state’s climate goals. Participants engaged in panel discussions, keynote presentations, and interactive breakout sessions, sharing experiences and perspectives to lay the groundwork for future collaboration and policy development in advancing nature-based climate solutions across New Jersey’s agricultural landscape.
