NO The 1.5ºC goal is impossible without the contribution of nature. Reducing deforestation and forest degradation – including peatlands and mangroves – represents one of the most effective mitigationoptions with the potential to slash 4 Gt of emissions a year. Forests act as climate shock absorbers and provide a wide range of ecosystem services that help communities withstand droughts, floods, heatwaves and landslides.
