Protect forests for climate

Native forest protection is critical for effective climate policy

• The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that strong, rapid and immediate cuts in emissions
  are needed to avoid irreversible climate collapse.
• Ending native logging in Australia would reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by 24%.
• 60% of the total biomass of logged trees ends up burnt as onsite waste. Ending native logging would reduce these
  further emissions.
• Reducing emissions alone is insufficient. Victoria’s forests are some of the world’s most carbon dense forests and we
  depend on their carbon sequestration and storage capabilities.
