Climate Change
Increasingly frequent extreme weather events, record annual global average temperatures and disruptive seasonal changes all provide growing evidence of anthropogenic climate change. The fossil fuel-based growth trajectory of the last century is no longer sustainable or economically viable.

The world’s forests cover 31% of land area on earth. Forests sequester carbon, provide food, shelter, water purification, wood products and many other essential services. To keep forests healthy, we must protect intact forest landscapes, manage working forests more effectively, and restore deforested lands.
