Forests remove and store carbon from the atmosphere, representing a cost-effective solution for mitigating climate change. The loss or degradation of forests compromises their ability to remove emissions. Related tools Scroll to discover Climate NATURAL STATE Forests provide a natural solution for removing carbon from the atmosphere. Forests absorb and store carbon emissions caused by human activity, like burning fossil fuels, which include coal, natural gas and oil. Related tools Climate DRIVERS OF CHANGE Forests' ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere can be compromised by conversion into agricultural lands, commodity production, urbanization, disease and fires that cause forest loss. When a tree burns or decays, the carbon stored is released into the atmosphere further exacerbating climate change. Related tools Climate COMPROMISED STATE With fewer trees to help absorb and regulate carbon in the atmopshere, the Earth's temperature rises and the effects of climate change increase. Related tools Climate RECOVERY STATE Sustainable forest management, improved land tenure, conservation and restoration are all valuable strategies for preserving forests as a natural climate solution. These solutions can have positive economic, biodiversity and societal impacts. Improvements in forest monitoring data and technology faciliate implementation of these solutions.
