The Connection Between Forests and Climate Change

JOSEFINA BRAÑA VARELA, VICE PRESIDENT AND DEPUTY LEAD, FORESTS

Forests are vital to the health of our planet and play a critical role in fighting climate change. They help regulate the Earth’s temperature and nature cycles by storing greenhouse gases that would otherwise collect in our atmosphere. However, when forests are not properly cared for and are degraded and deforested, they can contribute to climate change rather than reduce the impacts. Join us for a livestream event with Josefina Braña Varela to learn about the connections between forests and climate change and what she and her team are working on to protect forests.
