French NGO Says Forests' Carbon Absorption Capacity Is Rapidly Declining
(MENAFN) A French environmental organization has warned that the country's forests are becoming less effective at absorbing carbon, cautioning that the trend could undermine France's objective of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050.
The group, Canopee, said preserving forests' ability to capture and store carbon is "as important as reducing emissions," arguing that the issue remains a significant yet often overlooked aspect of climate policy.
Natural carbon sinks remove and retain carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping compensate for emissions that cannot be fully eliminated through emission reductions or technological solutions.
According to the report, forests represent France's largest natural carbon sink.
Canopee also referred to figures from France's emissions monitoring agency, Citepa, indicating that the volume of carbon absorbed by the country's forests has dropped by more than half since the early 2000s.
