Global Forest Summit

12 Mar 2021, Paris, Online, 08:30-19:20 Paris time

Environmental issues affect us all. As is it, the planet is moving towards a global warming of 3°C by 2100. This is not the future we want. Forests, our first carbon sink, are however in critical danger, with the possible savannahisation of the Amazon and tropical forests, could eventually turn into proper CO2 emitters. Faced with these projections, with unimaginable socio-economic consequences, our absolute priority can be summed up in a single word: reduction. Reducing our carbon footprint. Reducing deforestation. Reducing the degradation of forests. Reducing them increasingly and continuously.

Join Robert Nasi, Director-General of CIFOR at the Forests and Economy session, 17:00-18:10 Paris time.
