- 15. BackgroundGlobal climate is being affected by human activities that result from the emission of certain greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphereForests are relevant to climate change issues due to its function as a reservoir of carbonLoss of forests is a significant contributing factor in climate changeOn the other hand, the possibility of expanding carbon storage in forests has been identified as a potential measure to mitigate climate change
