Global forestation and deforestation affect remote climate via adjusted atmosphere and ocean circulation
Forests can store large amounts of carbon and provide essential ecosystem services. Massive tree planting is thus sometimes portrayed as a panacea to mitigate climate change...
IPBES has now released the Summary for Policymakers (SPM) of the Sustainable Use of Wild Species report. The SPM presents the key messages and policy options, as approved by the IPBES...
The scientific evidence reviewed in this workshop report demonstrates that pandemics are becoming more frequent. Their underlying causes are the same global environmental changes that drive...
Several previous studies have investigated changes in insect biodiversity, with some highlighting declines and others showing turnover in species composition without net declines. Although...
Climate policy has thus far focused solely on carbon stocks and sequestration to evaluate the potential of forests to mitigate global warming. These factors are used...
National, regional and global CO2 emissions and removals from forests were estimated for the period 1990–2020 using as input the country reports of the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020...
The Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research provides emission time series from 1970 until 2020 for fossil CO2 and until 2018 for non-CO2 GHGs for all countries...
Reforestation and afforestation is expected to achieve a quarter of all emission reduction pledged under the Paris Agreement. Trees store carbon in biomass and soil but also alter the surface...
IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) is to perform regular and timely assessments of knowledge on biodiversity and ecosystem services and their interlinkages at the global level.
