Climate Change presents a significant threat to the wellbeing of mankind, and it is driven by the ever-increasing quantity of greenhouse gases (GHG) being emitted into the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has called for concerted action by all nations to limit their GHG emission. Globally, consensus has grown that it will be practically impossible to limit the impacts of climate change without reducing emissions from the forestry and agricultural sectors; yet worldwide, forests continue to be lost at an alarming rate. Between 2000 and 2010 there was a global net loss of 6.2 million hectares of forests.
