The FAO has suggested that, over the period 2005–2050, effective use of tree planting could absorb about 10–20% of man-made emissions – so monitoring the condition of the world's forests must be part of a global strategy to mitigate emissions and protect ecosystem services.
FAO predlaže da bi tijekom perioda od 2005. – 2050. učinkovita uporaba sadnje drveća mogla apsorbirati oko 10-20% antropogenih emisija – stoga monitoriranje stanja svjetskih šuma mora biti dio globalne strategije smanjivanja emisija i zaštite ekosustavnih usluga.
