The United Nations Conventions on Climate Change consider that one of the policies which should be implemented with a view to mitigating climate change is the promotion of forests as fixers of carbon, through forestation and reforestation activities.
FN's rammekonvention om klimaændringer vurderer, at en af de politikker, der burde gennemføres med henblik på at mildne klimaændringerne, er at fremme skovene til fiksering af kulstof ved hjælp af skovplantnings- og genplantningsaktiviteter.
