<p style="margin:10px 0px;padding:0px;line-height:150%">Forests have been identified as an important and significant contributor to climate change mitigation due to their ability to serve as a sink for carbon dioxide. A healthy forest products sector may help to achieve this goal if it can encourage the retention and management of forests. Earlier this year, <strong>Resources for the Future</strong> (RFF) <a href="https://rff.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7c9b262e7e80d95252bcc249a&id=e2c9ff5984&e=ec3ece1fea" style="color:rgb(4,39,60);font-weight:bold" target="_blank">hosted an in-depth conversation</a> on the important role forests can play in climate change mitigation.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0px;padding:0px;line-height:150%">Join us next <strong>Tuesday, June 9</strong>, as we continue this conversation by convening a panel of expert practitioners <a href="https://rff.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7c9b262e7e80d95252bcc249a&id=ed10a6d1d9&e=ec3ece1fea" style="color:rgb(4,39,60);font-weight:bold" target="_blank">for a webinar</a> on how they are incorporating climate mitigation into their forest management practices—on the ground, in various parts of the country. This RFF Live event will begin with a short background presentation on the role of forests in climate mitigation, followed by a moderated panel discussion with representatives from nonprofit organizations and investment services, as well as private landowners who have practical experience in active forest management as a means to achieve conservation goals.</p>
