The Economics of US Forests as a Natural Climate Solution

This webinar will provide recent results from leading economic models that estimate the costs and potential of carbon sequestration in US forests. Estimates will be provided at the aggregate US scale for various activities (afforestation, reforestation, forest management, rotation extensions), as well as at the regional, county and mill-shed scale for relevant activities. Anyone with an interest in better understanding the US potential to sequester carbon in forests, and market participants would benefit from attending.
