Tropical forests can capture carbon FORESTS hold the centrestage in climate change. They can reduce carbon emissions up to 10-20 per cent of what has been projected by 2050.

Based on this assumption, there are plans to offset the build-up of atmospheric
With the economic case for tackling climate change stronger than ever, the financial crisis provides an opportunity, not an obstacle, says Nicholas Stern.
