The role of local ecosystems in combating climate change includes sequestering carbon, regulating temperatures, and preserving biodiversity. Healthy ecosystems, such as forests, wetlands, and grasslands, absorb carbon dioxide and act as carbon sinks, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. They can also enhance community resilience against climate impacts by stabilizing soil, reducing flooding, and providing resources. Furthermore, local ecosystems support diverse species that contribute to effective ecosystem functioning. Protecting and restoring these ecosystems is essential to addressing climate change while fostering sustainability and enhancing ecosystem services.
