Land, agriculture and human diets are required to be used in a more sustainable and climate-friendly way to limit greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), leading researchers on Thursday said in a high-level report commissioned by the United Nations.
The special report on Climate and Land Use by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released in Geneva on Thursday highlighted the need to protect remaining tropical forests as a bulkhead against future warning.
“Land is where we live,” IPCC co-chair Hoesung Lee said adding that “Land is under growing human pressure and land is part of the solution, but land cannot do it all.”
