[PCA] VIRTUAL SYMPOSIUM: Cool insights for a hot world: Trees and forests recycle water and modify climate; March 21-22; 3am-6am ET

[De Angelis, Patricia]

COOL INSIGHTS FOR A HOT WORLD: TREES AND FORESTS RECYCLE WATER AND MODIFY
CLIMATE



Webinar date/time: March 21-22; 3am-6am ET



Duration: 3 hours



What will you learn?

Learn how climate science and forestry is treated in other parts of the
world.


Planting trees seems like sensible choice when it comes to mitigating
climate change, but crucial aspects of the relationships between trees and
climate have so far been overlooked in climate research, the new review
Trees, forests and water: cool insights for a hot world concludes. The
authors suggest that the global conversation on trees, forests and climate
needs to be turned on its head: the direct effects of trees on the climate
via rainfall and cooling may be more important than the well-studied
effects through the global carbon balance. Yet, current climate policy
tends to focus on carbon.



On the occasion of the International Day of Forests (21 March) and World
Water Day (22 March), FTA is inviting you to participate in a virtual
symposium on the linkages of forests, water and climate.
