Role of Forests in Global Climate Change Mitigation

This exam focuses on the role of forests in mitigating global climate change. It encompasses the contributions of forests to carbon storage and sequestration, as well as the challenges posed by deforestation and land-use change.

The understanding of how forests function as carbon sinks is vital for developing policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Effective forest management practices are essential not only for climate mitigation but also for ensuring biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Candidates will be assessed on their proficiency in discussing forests' contributions to climate mitigation and addressing current challenges facing forest ecosystems. They should articulate theoretical principles guiding forestry practices aimed at enhancing carbon storage.

Furthermore, the exam may include topics on international policy frameworks related to forests and climate change, along with case studies illustrating effective forest management for carbon mitigation.
