Resumen
Descripción
The Paris Agreement adopted at the Conference of Parties 21 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change encourages parties to take action to conserve and enhance forest carbon stocks. Forests play a key role in removing carbon from the global carbon balance and it is imperative that afforestation/reforestation (AR) and forest restoration be promoted to the largest extent possible. Globally, there has been significant momentum with regard to AR efforts, such as the Bonn Challenge to restore 350 million ha of deforested and degraded lands by 2030 and the United Nations General Assembly resolution defining 2021 2030 as the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. The aim of the project was to contribute to these efforts by developing a methodology to estimate the mitigation potential of enhancing forest carbon stock through AR and forest restoration.
