Science Briefing: The State of Global Forest Carbon

​Forests are the largest natural carbon sink we can actively manage, restore and finance at scale. Technology helps unlock that potential.

​The ability to monitor removals from restoration and conservation, alongside emissions from degradation, drought and fire with greater precision, is changing what forest carbon finance can reward. This briefing shows what the state of global forest carbon looks like and points to the opportunities that better measurement unlocks.
