CLIMATE CHANGE AND CARBON

FORESTS AND CARBON

Natural process: Carbon dioxide from the

atmosphere + sunlight => a chemical
reaction => oxygen and glucose.
Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
effectively captured in the structure of
tree (carbon about 50% of trees biomass).

Controversial issue since Kyoto Protocol

Understanding the role of forests in absorbing CO2 is
still crucial

PLANTING TREES, MANAGE FORESTS
FOR PRODUCTS, CARBON, AND
ECOSYSTEM
Planting trees is the answer to the World companionship
on earth, planting trees means cooling down the earth
Show actions based on our comparative advantage
(share visions on reducing global warming)
Forest Community is pivotal in most developing
Countries
Indonesia offers solution of transforming CO2 into solid
carbon, green products, and bioenergy along with
biodiversity, ecosystem, soil & water conservation 12

 Green Economy
(UNEP 2011, Towards a Green Economy)
Results in improved human well-being and
social equity, while significantly reducing
environmental risk and ecological scarcities
REDD+ regime may be the best current
opportunity to facilitate the transition to a
green economy for (from) forestry
investing 0.03% of GDP b/w 2011-2050 to
conserve forests & private investment for
reforestation >20% increase value added in

HEAL THE WORLD
POEM OF the
TREES FOR BETTER LIFE
Heal the world by planting trees

Planting more means absorbing CO2 more

Planting more means produce more green

products

These are the anchor of forest for climate change

solution..HEAL THE WORLD BY PLANTING
TREES..
