However, prioritizing places and possible actions is difficult. We will demonstrate a generalizable approach to identifying potential opportunities for natural climate solutions by creating a spatial hierarchy of landscape management constraints. Global forest carbon stocks and flux models were then used to examine forest-based natural climate solutions in the high carbon-density temperate coastal rainforests of western North America. Our results show that 13 million hectares are available for action, an area that contains 4,900 \u00b1 640 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent and represents 45 % of regional and 0.5 % of global above-ground forest carbon stocks. Based on historical trends, a 10 % reduction in average annual forest carbon loss through better forest management and protection could reduce forest carbon emissions by 9.1 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, equivalent to 5.2 % of terrestrial climate commitments by 2030, USA and Canada. Implementing natural climate solutions at scale will require collaborative planning with forest-dependent communities, industry, governments and indigenous peoples. (<em>Colin S. Shanley, Rose A.
