Climate change has already increased the occurrence of wildfires, convective storms, and bark beetle outbreaks, all of which are major drivers of tree mortality in forests. However, the future
Abstract: Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and size of large uncontrollable fires. The impact of this trend on forest vegetation is still poorly understood, especially in areas not
Abstract Carbon offset projects aimed at avoiding deforestation and forest degradation, generally labeled “REDD+,” are frequently promoted as a pivotal tool to mitigate climate change, promising to
Several EU climate change mitigation policies have the potential to deliver health co-benefits. However, existing frameworks guiding research in this area lack important details that are needed to
Abstract This article delves into the emerging phenomenon of ‘forest climate litigation,’ which we describe as lawsuits addressing the intersection of science, policy and law specifically related to

Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) depletion, primarily driven by land use change, is a global challenge influenced by factors such as climate, plant cultivation, and adopted management practices
Abstract Reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) projects and programmes promise to deliver performance-based, cost-effective climate change mitigation. Fifteen years after
