Descripción
Forests store large amounts of carbon while trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow. When forests are burnt or cut down on purpose, the carbon dioxide is released. To prevent this from happening, a science-based deforestation policy, integrated into the organisation’s governance and management mechanisms, is needed.
The EU Observatory on Deforestation and Forest Degradation allows users to track the map of forest cover changes at a global scale.
Regulatory Definition
