"New research warns that Africa's forests, once vital allies in the fight
against climate change, have turned from a carbon sink into a carbon source.
A new international study published in
Scientific Reports and led by
researchers at the National Center for Earth Observation at the Universities of
Leicester, Sheffield and Edinburgh reveals that Africa's forests, which have
long absorbed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, are now releasing more carbon
than they remove.
This alarming shift, which happened after 2010, underscores the urgent need for
stronger global action to protect forests, a major focus of the COP30 Climate
Summit that concluded last week in Brazil."
