How should we protect biodiversity and our climate?
Greenpeace commisions report to study the most recent science on the relationship between biodiversity and climate change
June 09, 2009
Biodiversity is crucial for both cutting climate pollution and dealing with and adapting to the effects of climate change. If we do not protect the diversity of life on Earth, the effects could be as devastating as the effects of global warming itself. This is especially true with tropical forests — they are critical to
fighting climate change and home to more species than any other
ecosystem type.
Greenpeace commissioned the Institute of Forest Policy at the University of Freiburg in Germany to study the most recent science on the relationship between biodiversity and climate change. The report shows that a fund-based approach to reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) is more effective at protecting biodiversity than an offset-based scheme.
