@NatureClimate Finding #3: By applying natural regeneration and plantations where each method is more cost-effective, reforestation could achieve up to ten times more mitigation below $20/tCO2 than previously estimated by the IPCC

Here’s something interesting, that our meta-analysis is the first to find:. Deforestation happens more when it’s hot. So there’s a vicious circle: deforestation is driving climate change — and it’s also fueled by it.

World leaders have committed to fight climate change by halting and reversing deforestation by 2030. Our new study can help guide policies and investment toward actions that support those goals, and away from those that don’t.
