Ecosystem Services, Global Environmental Change, and Local Actions that can help
As Muslims, we believe that Allah’s rahma (Mercy) and His blessings have no limits. We live on a planet that contains all the resources that humans need for survival: water, food, materials for buildings and machinery such as wood, metal and rubber. The Quran provides illustrations of the relationships between water, plants, animals and humans (Ahmad 2010). Allah SWT says:
“Have they not seen how We drive water to the dry land that has no vegetation, and therewith bring forth crops providing food for their cattle and themselves? Will they not then see?” (As-Sajdah 32:27).
Bioenergy with carbon capture could help stabilize climate without breaking the bank

The long-term goals of the Paris Agreement keeping global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius and ideally 1.5 C in order to avert the worst impacts of climate change may not be achievable by greenhouse gas emissions-reduction measures alone. Most scenarios for meeting these targets also require the deployment of negative emissions technologies (NETs) that remove carbon dioxide (CO
2) from the atmosphere.
2-absorbing plants, captures CO
2 that’s released into the atmosphere when the extracted plant matter is combusted, and stores it underground. The end-to-end process entails securing available land, cultivating and transporting crops, converting biomass into electricity with carbon capture, and transporting and storing the captured CO
MIT researchers find large-scale deployment of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) could dramatically lower the costs of meeting the long-term climate goals of the Paris Agreement.
