[RWG] WEBINAR: Advancing a North American Framework for Protecting Climate-Critical Forests: How mature, primary, & old-growth forests play a vital role in national conservation and climate goals; Mar 22; 12pm MDT

[Park, Margaret E]

Webinar date/time: Tuesday, March 22; 12pm **MDT**

Duration: 1 hour

What will you learn?
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.
