Climate mitigation through nature-positive actions can be an effective strategy to promote biodiversity and reach carbon reduction targets. At the same time, connecting communities with nature can enhance alternative and integrated sustainable livelihoods to prevent deforestation, and foster best land-use practices.Forest and land-use actions can make a significant contribution to climate mitigation goals, as shown in the IPCC’s 2050 scenarios. This is unique in terms of its volume, since its mitigation potential is derived from both an enhancement of greenhouse gases (GHG) sequestration, as well as reduction of emissions through management of land and livestock (IPCC, 2018). This thematic brief promotes the work of UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) sharing knowledge and best practices, with a particular focus on forests.
