ICRAF Chief Scientist Dr Meine van Noordwijk talks about a review paper: Trees, Forests and water: Cool insights for a hot world conducted by nearly 30 scientists around the world with an important message to the global climate community: lets think of rainfall and water as the first thing when we hear forests and trees and look at the importance of that at the scale of continents and at the scale of countries way beyond the relevance of the carbon story that we have so far seen translated into climate policy.
The way we look at forests must have more of the micro climate elements– temperature, rainfall – than what has been translated to climate policy so far". Read paper (ScienceDirect): http://bit.ly/2kOyvv9
