Abstract

Abstract Key message The UNFCCC COP 27 in Sharm El-Sheikh confirmed that climate policies too heavily rely on climate mitigation by forests rather than on de-fossilizing the energy system, to keep global warming within the safe 1.5 °C. Reliable mitigation by forests would imply healthy productive forests well adapted to climate change, and this is no longer the case. The current trend in loss of forest vitality shows that the adaptation of forests is urgently needed, but measures are being insufficiently adopted by foresters on the ground. In this letter, we wonder about the reasons for this inaction paralyzing climate-smart forestry and propose a way forward using a diversity-based no-regret approach in line with available knowledge.

气候智能型森林管理进退两难

在沙姆沙伊赫举行的《联合国气候变化框架公约》第27次缔约方会议确认，要将全球变暖控制在1.5°C的安全范围内，气候政策过于依赖森林减缓气候变化，而不是依赖能源系统去化石化。森林的可靠缓解意味着健康的生产性森林能够很好地适应气候变化，但现在情况已不再是这样了。目前森林活力丧失的趋势表明，迫切需要对森林进行适应，但森林工作者在实地采取的措施还不够。在这封信中，我们想知道这种不作为使气候智能型林业陷入瘫痪的原因，并根据现有知识提出了一种基于多样性的无悔方法。
