Routledge - Climate Change: Financing Global Forests Review

Forestry accounts for one-fifth of global carbon emissions, which is more than the entire world transport sector. Every year, an area of forest the size of England is cut down in the tropics. Addressing this loss is a necessary part of any new international agreement on climate change. Climate Change: Financing Global Forests, also known as the Eliasch Review, provides an independent report commissioned by the UK Prime Minister. This text addresses the urgent need to manage forest loss and its impact on our planet. It examines how global forest loss affects climate change and looks at the future role of forests within international climate change frameworks. This book serves as a vital resource for those studying the intersection of economics, environmental policy, and global forest management.
