Good thing and since it's a world problem, what matters the most is:
1. Also reduce emissions in the US and China[^1],
2. Save the Amazon rainforest in Brazil and SEA mostly[^2].
The best would be to introduce a tax from the CO2 emitters paid to the forest countries if (and only if) they protect them.

- c00lio 3y agoForest protection alone isn't enough. If you rely on forests, you'd actually have to grow them. Which would conflict with growing human population.
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoIf the forests want to grow, they will do so themselves thank you very much. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2021/12/09/climate-change-forest-recovery-deforestation/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2021/12/09/...
- c00lio 3y agoThere are no tropical forests in the EU. And German forests do only grow by increasing biomass of older trees, new saplings are completely eaten away by deer if not actively protected.
