A new economic model for protecting tropical forests.
Tropical forests are one of the world's most important carbon sinks, absorbing over one fifth of the emissions from burning fossil fuels every year. The latest research suggests that without them the world would already be nearly one degree Celsius hotter. We can't solve climate change without tropical forests. But right now, instead of protecting forests, we're cutting them down. Already, about one sixth of the Amazon has been lost, and some scientists fear that we're nearing a tipping point that could mean loss of the entire forest. Forests in Indonesia and Malaysia, even the vast forests of Central Africa, are under threat as well. And deforestation means carbon pollution. In fact, tropical deforestation worldwide accounts for almost as much emissions as all the world's cars and trucks combined. So losing tropical forests means losing any hope of limiting the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 or even two degrees Celsius.
The heart of the problem is economic. As long as it's profitable to chop down forests for timber or clear them for agriculture, we'll continue to lose them. Now, I'm not suggesting that we try to halt capitalism in its tracks. We need to fix the market, not abandon it. We need a new and better economic development model for tropical forest countries. And that means changing the incentives so that forests are worth more alive than dead. If we can do that, we will drive investment into tropical forest protection while also producing the goods and services we need.
