[PCA] Salazar Center webinar March 22, Protecting Climate-Critical Forests in North America

[Abby Meyer]

Advancing a North American Framework for Protecting Climate-Critical Forests: How mature, primary, & old-growth forests play a vital role in U.S. and Canadian conservation and climate goals

Description:
In this installment, panelists from Canada and the U.S. will discuss the importance of protecting North American forests to achieve durable outcomes for people, biodiversity, and the climate. The U.S. and Canada have made unprecedented commitments to climate and biodiversity, including the protection of 30% of their lands by 2030. To meet these goals, countries need strong foundations to create robust policy frameworks that protect the carbon-rich forests of North America. The panel will highlight weaknesses in current national forest carbon accounting practices in Canada and ways the government can leverage forest protection to achieve climate goals, as well as new spatial tools to map mature forests for the conterminous U.S. to inform national conservation and climate target setting. Together, they will explore the need to address underlying barriers to the realization of strong forest-climate solutions policies, and opportunities for the countries to work together to address them and create a new model of global forest leadership.

Speakers include:
Dr. Dominick A. DellaSala, Chief Scientist, Wild Heritage, Project of Earth Island Institute
Graham Saul, Executive Director, Nature Canada
