There's debate about that, I think it boils down to: - How afforestation efforts are done and what the cultural and labor dynamics are. There's plenty of stories of doing things wrong in the course of carbon afforestation per earlier REDD standards ( see 'REDD alert' - https://youtu.be/FPFPUhsWMaQ https://youtu.be/FPFPUhsWMaQ ) - What kinds of risks there are in sustaining a nature-based effort, from labor to simply whether an event wipes out the forest and expected carbon storage. - Realizing afforestation depends a lot on the biome and such and in some cases can make the climate worse - there's a lot of debate about this but this thread from Forrest Fleischman comes to mind ( https://twitter.com/ForrestFleisch1/status/1306221474802532354 https://twitter.com/ForrestFleisch1/status/13062214748025323... ) - How there's systems-theory perspectives (while possibly a bit reductionistic) arguing afforestation won't be enough to deal with carbon sequestration & storage. See https://archive.is/rNJTE https://archive.is/rNJTE which references John Sterman and En-Roads. Theres a bigger debate around forms of conservation (e.g. 'preserving' or 'rewilding' forests a la John Muir conservation vs. a more participation with nature framework of biocultural restoration as well)
