”We have little time to avoid damage and economic weakening caused by climate change. The solutions are numerous and, as many economists say, affordable compared to the costs of complacency. The goods and services provided by forests are worth a billion if not millions of millions of dollars in the global economy. Forests are natural and economically important carbon wells, capable of capturing carbon from the atmosphere and keeping it in logs and branches. Globally, forests cover only a third of what it once was. It's time to totally change the trend, it's time to act. Achim Steiner | ||||||||||
