Webinar | Can Planting Trees Fix the Climate? The Role of Forestry in the Climate Solutions Portfolio

Thank you for joining the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment for a webinar panel discussion on the role of trees and forests in the climate solutions portfolio. An international initiative to prevent deforestation and restore forests has sparked interest in how land use and forestry can be a part of a portfolio of climate solutions. Effective protection and management of forests can help decrease carbon emissions and increase carbon uptake, slowing climate change. But answers to the questions of where, how, and how much can this help are far from clear. Leading experts discussed the opportunities and challenges for protecting and expanding forests to capture and offset carbon emissions in the United States and globally. Watch the full webinar below.
