*PLEASE NOTE*

DUE TO COVID-19 TRAVEL AND CONVENING CONCERNS, THE MARCH 25 BRIEFING THAT
WAS TO TAKE PLACE AT THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB IN WASHINGTON, D.C., WILL NOW
BE HELD AS A WEBINAR ONLY.  WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL JOIN US VIRTUALLY FOR THE
CONVERSATION.
Can Planting Trees Fix the Climate? The Role of Forestry in the Climate
Solutions Portfolio
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2020

12:30 - 2:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time
WEBINAR REGISTRATION

Please join the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment for a webinar
on the role of trees and forests in the climate solutions portfolio. An
international initiative to prevent deforestation and restore forests has
sparked interest in how land use and forestry can be a part of a portfolio
of climate solutions. Effective protection and management of forests can
help decrease carbon emissions and increase carbon uptake, slowing climate
change. But answers to the questions of where, how, and how much forest
solutions can help are far from clear. Leading experts will discuss the
opportunities and challenges for protecting and expanding forests to
capture and offset carbon emissions in the United States and globally.
