The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the UK Forestry Commission have produced a 17-minute video on “Forests and Climate Change: a Convenient Truth.” The video shows how forests can contribute to the mitigation of climate change, stressing the importance of reversing forest loss. It is easy to follow and contains plenty of useful information.
The video explains how society can combat climate change by: conserving and managing existing forests; tackling causes of deforestation; and planting new forests.
