Guardian: Forests are undervalued assets in meeting the twin global challenges of our time: achieving prosperity and safeguarding climate stability. Its time we gave them the attention and finance that they deserve. Last week, dozens of countries announced a late-breaking wave of commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions ahead of the climate change summit in Paris this November. While such pledges are welcome, they are not yet sufficient to avert catastrophic global warming. Tropical forests provide...
