Top Highlights
We set the land area available for the Forest Protection solution at 1,155 million hectares
accumulating carbon
Since humans began farming, the number of trees on Earth has fallen by 46 percent.
5.1–8.4 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year
Forest protection could reduce these emissions by 5.56–8.83 gigatons by 2050.
