Textbook Seven questions about BOS and CLIMATE by Simon Klingen

In BOS en KLIMAAT Simon Klingen describes the role of forests in combating climate change. It is a complementary matter. There is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding in the reporting on this subject. Moreover, many questions have no black-and-white answer - such as about biomass burning, deforestation for heathland vegetation and building more with wood as a remedy for climate problems. In addition, there are high expectations of new forests.

The booklet (90 pages) soberly describes the role of forests in the climate issue and deals with some public misunderstandings.
