300 million people live in the forests globally. 1.6 billion people depend directly on them for their daily lives, and all humanity needs them to live. Forests perform vital functions to fight against climate change. Approximately 12% of annual global carbon dioxide emissions come from deforestation and forest degradation. It is crucial to recognise the benefits that forests provide. A sustainable management and conversation will help to overcome poverty and achieve sustainability. This video was produced in the framework of the UN-REDD Programme, the collaborative initiative on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) in developing countries.
