DEFORESTATION AFFORESTATION Tropical deforestation is responsible for approximately 20% of world greenhouse gas emissions. The water cycle is negatively affected by deforestation Shrinking forest cover lessens the landscape's capacity to intercept, retain and transpire precipitation Damage to forests and other aspects of nature could halve living standards for the world's poor and reduce global GDP by about 7% by 2050 Tropical afforestation will increasingly gysequester and capture carbon dioxide. The water cycle benefits from afforestation Expanding forest cover increases the landscape’s capacity to intercept, retain and transpire precipitation Investments in afforestation and other aspects of nature will stabilize then improve living standards for the world’s poor and increase global GDP by 7% by 2050
Scientists have estimated that if applied on a global scale, such 'bioenergy with carbon storage' (BECS) systems can bring atmospheric CO2 levels back to preindustrial levels by mid-century (2050).
