The number of people living in urban areas around the world will swell by upwards of 2 billion over the next three decades.

Canada's forestry sector is responsible for far more greenhouse gas emissions than show up in official tallies, a new study suggests, underscoring concerns about how a lack of industry oversight is getting in the way of the country's climate goals.

Billions of dollars in new tax credits aim to cut jet emissions – but environmental groups and some scientists expressed reservations about the plan.

Wood is a versatile construction material that could be used to replace carbon-intensive steel and concrete in construction, however the emissions involved may have been underestimated

A new study shows that cutting down trees for paper, furniture and fuel emits three times more carbon than flying.

To reject thousands of years of indigenous (in its wider sense) and traditional land management as ignorant and devastating is not helpful.

Washington, D.C. (July 5, 2023) — A new paper in Nature by World Resources Institute researchers published online on July 5 finds that the world’s yearly wood harvests are likely to emit 3.5 to 4.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, more than 10% of recent global annual emissions of carbon dioxide. It also finds that these emissions are typically not counted in both scientific papers and public policies.

A new study shows that cutting down trees for paper, furniture, and fuel emits about three times more carbon than flying.

As global demand for wood products is projected to rise over the coming decades, the world is expected to log about 3 million square miles of forestland.
