Abstract

In 1994, after various international meetings determined the danger that rising greenhouse gas emissions posed to the world’s climate, the United Nations (UN) incorporated the role that forests could play in absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) into the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Article 4.1(d) calls for international cooperation to: ‘Promote sustainable management and promote and cooperate in the conservation and enhancement, as appropriate, of sinks and reservoirs of all greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol, including biomass, forests and oceans as well as other terrestrial coastal and marine ecosystems.’
