We find that sustainability progress in China from reforestation is cancelled out by the deforestation and cross-sectoral impacts supporting this reforestation abroad. Narratives of economic development support
The country belongs to a group of nations that are particularly susceptible to the negative impacts of climate change. Considering the challenges discussed above, the country has established ambitious objectives to augment the proportion of renewable energy sources in its total capacity [5]. Moreover...
We estimate the impacts that alternative national and sub-national economic incentive structures for reducing emissions from deforestation (REDD+) in Indonesia would have had on greenhouse gas emissions and national and local revenue if they had been in place from 2000-2005. The impact of carbon ...
evapotranspiration are comparable in strength with each other. As a result, the net effects of afforestation on LST are complex and subject to large uncertainties24. Moreover, the net effects have obvious seasonal differences. For instance, afforestation in China tends to increase the winter LST, ...
impacts resulting from warming, such as the likelihood of extreme weather, sea level rise, and economic growth17,20,28,29. Within these studies, each climate model or ensemble of models exhibits a specific climate sensitivity such that the response of GMST to anthropogenic emissions is model- ...
The needs of these different social groups must be considered.Unless this is done, the forest policy itself can be an impetus for deforestation.In the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, deforestation in the Atlantic forest (Mata Atlantica) is occurring at a rapid rate, threatening the ...

The plans are supposed to outline how timber harvests will mitigate impacts on biological diversity. One of the most famous ecosystem management plans resulting from this legislation was for the old-growth forest in the Pacific Northwest. The Forest Service, after several court cases, was forced ...

“They have an enormous asset base of nature, which they’re not capitalizing on because they lack simply the investment capital,” he said, adding that if they got it, they could grow. Article content But if deforestation and biodiversity loss continue at today’s pace, the impacts ...
