Missed carbon emissions from forests: comparing countries’ estimates submitted to UNFCCC to biophysical estimates
Reducing forest loss has the potential to reduce global carbon emissions, but paying countries to do so will only work if activities are targeting areas with rapid deforestation or high threat. As of December 2017, 25 countries reported their benchmark greenhouse gas emissions from forests (‘referen...
