The Importance of Forests in Mitigating Climate Change and Waste Wood Recycling.

Welcome to today's Canadian Wood recycling industry – e.news from the Canadian Wood Waste Recycling Business Group.

Storyline - The Importance of Forests in Mitigating Climate Change and Waste Wood Recycling.

CLIMATE WEEK: How Sustainable Forestry Helps Make A difference

At SFI, we know forests are critical in addressing the climate crisis. Forests and forest products capture almost 15% of our global carbon emissions each year. Climate Week NYC, September 20-26, is focused on fulfilling and increasing commitments made by businesses, governments, and organizations. 

Hosted annually by international non-profit the Climate Group in conjunction with the United Nations, and in partnership with the COP26 and the City of New York, Climate Week NYC is a global opportunity to come together to accelerate climate action and assess progress ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26).

The Sustainable Forestry Initiative is a sustainability organization operating in the U.S. and Canada that works across four pillars: standards, conservation, community, and education. SFI has two youth education initiatives: Project Learning Tree and Project Learning Tree Canada. Founded: 2002

The Importance of Forests in Mitigating Climate Change and Waste Wood Recycling.

The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) is working with partners such as American Forests on important global issues such as climate change. Forests and forest products capture almost 15% of our carbon emissions each year. Learn more about the importance of forests in mitigating climate change.

Earth’s second-largest natural storehouses of carbon

Second only to the world’s oceans, forests contain more carbon than is presently found in the atmosphere. Carbon moves into and through forest ecosystems, playing important roles in ecological processes and management of carbon emissions and removals.

Forests are a vital part of the carbon cycle, both storing and releasing this essential element in a dynamic process of growth, decay, disturbance, and renewal. At a global scale, forests help maintain Earth’s carbon balance and thus help us lessen the impacts of climate change.

Over the past four decades, forests have moderated climate change by absorbing about one-quarter of the carbon emitted by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation that converts forests to other land uses. Carbon uptake by forests reduces the rate at which carbon accumulates in the atmosphere and thus reduces the rate at which climate change occurs.

Essentially, to reduce climate change, we need to do two things: emit less carbon (and other greenhouse gases) and remove excess carbon from the atmosphere. How well we can manage forests to remove some of the carbon now being emitted by human activities will affect the future rate of carbon increase in the atmosphere.

Forestry Management Protecting, Restoring, Recycling

Any action that conserves, restores, or improves the use or management of forests and other high-carbon ecosystems while increasing carbon storage and/or avoiding greenhouse gas emissions, can be considered a “natural” climate solution.

In opinion, when we talk about natural climate solutions and Forests, we are focused on three main things:

• Protecting the critical places we need for our climate
• Restoring and expanding the footprint of natural ecosystems, so they can do what they do best and recycle all Forestry debris and waste Wood
• Improving how we manage our working lands

It is time to is to catalyze and accelerate the transformation of sustainable Forest management policies, introduce Forestry debris waste Wood Carbon off-set recycling incentive(s), planning, and practices in accordance with the needs of building a sustainable Wood recycling industry across Canada.

Please JOIN us in working with the Canadian Federal Government to change current FORESTRY debris slash Burning policy practice by incorporating a Forestry debris Wood recycling program initiative with a Carbon off-set recycling incentive(s).

All Waste WOOD is 100% recyclable.

In recycling all waste Wood it is and will strengthening the connect between economy, society and the environment — 

As acknowledged — all will benefit from the environmental, sustainable social & economic outcomes.
