Our new paper in @NatureClimate!
“Cost-effectiveness of natural forest regeneration and plantations for climate mitigation”

We've mapped abatement cost ($/tCO2) for two common reforestation methods across 138 low- and middle-income countries...(thread)
This was also a monster analysis that involved compiling a tons of exciting data, producing spatial layers, and synthesizing the data within an economic modeling framework.
I'm biased, but a very cool example of interdisciplinary science that I will use in my teaching this fall.

@MaryKateMcCoy Here’s a 61-minute seminar on “What drives deforestation, and what stops it?” that I presented @BrenUCSB in November, 2021:

Here’s something interesting, that our meta-analysis is the first to find:
Deforestation happens more when it’s hot.
So there’s a vicious circle: deforestation is driving climate change — and it’s also fueled by it.
As a female climate scientist, blocking is the only thing that makes my engagement here on Twitter/X possible.
Daily, I receive comments that range from disparaging to downright vile. Since Oct, my tweets can attract thousands of trolls (real people) and bots (not real). 🧵
@LNJStokes Maybe the two are correlated, but we looked at their effect on deforestation separately. Just holding free and fair elections doesn't keep forests standing.
Here's what we wrote in our paper. Wehkamp et al (2018) will go much deeper on this

@LNJStokes Hi Liam, the distinction is that good *forest* governance (e.g. forest law enforcement; effective community management...) reduces deforestation, but good *general* governance (things like rule of law, anti-corruption, government effectiveness and accountability...) doesn't.
Major new review of econometric studies about what drives deforestation — and how can we stop it? (Spoiler alert: Indigenous land rights are key.) https://t.co/LWv6Hmx31A @ConservationOrg@TenureFacility
🌲🌏 Proud to co-author a comprehensive review on halting & reversing deforestation with @jonahbusch. Discover what shapes our forests. Thanks @ConservationOrg & @UBC. Read: https://t.co/GEz02wSfd6
