REDD+ : combating climate change with forest science
FTA Highlight of a decade 2011-2021 > REDD+ : combating climate change with forest science
The climate change battle has many fronts; protecting the world’s remaining forests is a major one. Land-use change, including deforestation, contributes 10–12% of global emissions (IPCC 2019), and the REDD+ framework (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation) has been seen as a way to promote both climate and sustainable development benefits.
