About ELTI:
The Environmental Leadership & Training Initiative at Yale University (ELTI) is a global reference for practical training on tropical conservation and restoration. Our online and field courses integrate the science of YSE with the applied expertise of ELTI’s global network of partners. Our mission is to empower people from all sectors and backgrounds to restore and conserve tropical forest landscapes using strategies that support biodiversity and livelihoods. ELTI participants become innovative leaders who achieve tangible results for people and the environment.
ELTI was created with generous funding from Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin – www.arcadiafund.org.uk
About YCNCC:
The Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture (YCNCC) is a research center at Yale University established to advance fundamental and applied science relating to how natural Earth systems can be enhanced to create effective, safe, and scalable methods to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere while offering meaningful ecological and social co-benefits.
Founded in 2021 with a transformative gift from FedEx, and part of Yale’s Planetary Solutions Project, the YCNCC bridges disciplines and spans departments and schools at Yale to catalyze and support innovative research to advance natural climate solutions. The Center funds research projects, workshops, and fellowships at the University, and it invests in outreach and training the next generation of scientists and practitioners. These activities are centered around three focus areas: Ecosystem Capture, Geological & Ocean Capture, and Industrial Carbon Utilization. Continued fundraising efforts seek to secure support for the Center’s work well into the future.
