Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Gavin Strang (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 10 December 2009 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Climate Change (Forestry)
- Question
- I accept that the report is just out, but does my right hon. Friend agree that forestry has the potential to make a highly significant contribution to our emissions reduction targets? Indeed, with an increase of 4 per cent. in woodland cover over the next 40 years, we could, by the 2050s, achieve a reduction equivalent to 10 per cent. of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Answer
-
I do indeed agree with my right hon. Friend. Trees are wonderful carbon-eating machines.
