 Paul Burman on January 14th, 2010Carbon financing has saved over 2 million hectares of forest and channeled hundreds of millions of dollars towards forest projects over the last twenty years. This has helped to preserve tens of millions of trees, improve animal habitats, and sequestered millions of tons of CO2.
Paul Burman on June 4th, 2009The IPCC estimates that deforestation and forest degradation are responsible for 20% of global warming pollution; meaning any comprehensive solution to global warming must incorporate a way to reduce our emissions and keep trees in the ground. Emissions trading schemes like RGGI and CCAR already incorporate provisions that allow for forest based carbon offsets, and [...]
Susanna Murley on June 2nd, 2009Watch as almost 70,000 square kilometers disappear in the Amazon rainforest. Over the past three decade, almost 35% of the rainforest in the state of Rondônia in western Brazil has been cleared—an area larger than the state of West Virginia—and NASA satellites have captured it all. The images show “the most typical pattern” of deforestation [...]
Ivan Chan on May 29th, 2009The New York Times has prepared a great editorial on the value of protecting forests, and the need for forest-based carbon offsets. “Deforestation accounts for one-fifth of the world’s greenhouse gases — about the same as China’s emissions, more than the emissions generated by all of the world’s cars and trucks. And the world is doing [...]
Susanna Murley on May 15th, 2009The IPCC estimates that 20% of global warming emissions come from deforestation. As climate change worsens, countries have yet to discover an effective way of slowing and stopping the practice of deforestation, even though it’s widely recognized that it would help stop global warming.
