Deforestation and Climate Change: Interview with Jonah Busch

Jonah Busch appears on The Kojo Nnamdi Show to discuss the recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The IPCC report warns of dire consequences if the world does not act quickly to curb carbon emissions. The technical and political challenges are daunting. But advocates can point to one area in which progress is being achieved: cutting emissions associated with tropical deforestation. Busch discusses the link between tropical forests and global climate, as well as new initiatives that pay developing nations to preserve their wild areas.
