G. Jones

Finally, my #introduction !
I'm a freelance science writer and editor writing mostly about #climatechange, #earthscience, #conservation, #forestconservation, and #ecologicalrestoration. Soon, I'll publish more pieces on #energy, #wildlifeconservation, and #immigrantculture.
I'll be sharing my science writing here and my favorite #narrative #nonfiction. But I'm really more excited about sharing #garden and #pet photos. If you #compost and keep a worm bin, let's chat!
Cheers,
Natasha

"Important progress on sustainable forest management and conservation has been made at the UN Climate Change Conference COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh with the launch of the Forest and Climate Leaders’ Partnership (FCLP), which aims to unite action by governments, businesses and community leaders...to halt forest loss and land degradation by 2030 and to convert ambition into results on the ground."

New #DEval study on #climatechange #mitigation
The international #REDD+ program aims at reducing #deforestation and #forestdegradation in #developingcountries, to reduce #CO2 #emissions and #climate change. The study shows that REDD+ achieved capacity building for #forestconservation and put #forests on the global agenda, but has not yet met its high expectations nor lead to significant emission reductions. Readiness efforts & drivers of deforestation underestimated.
