Our new paper in @NatureClimate! “Cost-effectiveness of natural forest regeneration and plantations for climate mitigation” nature.com/articles/s4155… We've mapped abatement cost ($/tCO2) for two common reforestation methods across 138 low- and middle-income countries...(thread)

@jonahbusch @NatureClimate Nice paper but would it be possible to look at ANR, mixed species plantations and agroforestry?

This was also a monster analysis that involved compiling a tons of exciting data, producing spatial layers, and synthesizing the data within an economic modeling framework. I'm biased, but a very cool example of interdisciplinary science that I will use in my teaching this fall.

Similarly, it would be convenient if democracy, peace, good governance, or secure land tenure, led to less deforestation. But they don’t.

As a female climate scientist, blocking is the only thing that makes my engagement here on Twitter/X possible. Daily, I receive comments that range from disparaging to downright vile. Since Oct, my tweets can attract thousands of trolls (real people) and bots (not real). 🧵

@LNJStokes Maybe the two are correlated, but we looked at their effect on deforestation separately. Just holding free and fair elections doesn't keep forests standing. Here's what we wrote in our paper. Wehkamp et al (2018) will go much deeper on this sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@jonahbusch Hi Jonah, thanks for the reply, brilliant that you're on here. So the correlation I assume exists between good forest governance and good general governance doesn't get the job done? Or is there not, in fact, a correlation?

Democracy, peace and good government don't help stem deforestation. Countries getting wealthier makes it worse. Indigenous occupants, paying for the forest to remain and enforcing protections all help. ecosystemmarketplace.com/articles/how-t…

@LNJStokes Hi Liam, the distinction is that good *forest* governance (e.g. forest law enforcement; effective community management...) reduces deforestation, but good *general* governance (things like rule of law, anti-corruption, government effectiveness and accountability...) doesn't.

Good governance being irrelevant but enforcing protections being helpful is a bit counter-intuitive. Not sure how you do one without the other.
