A blueprint for forest carbon science in Canada, 2012-2020 : Plan d'action sur la science du carbone forestier au Canada, 2012-2020

31 Dec 2014

Domestic and international concerns about climate change have led to questions about the contemporary and future role of Canada's forests and forest sector in affecting atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs). In 2008, the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers described climate change, including adaptation and the role of forest carbon (C) in helping mitigate climate change, as one of two priorities of national importance facing the Canadian forest sector over the next decade.
