Cómo pueden actuar las partes de la CMNUCC sobre los efectos climáticos no relacionados con el carbono de los bosques

The document explains that forests influence climate stability through four non-carbon biophysical processes: albedo, evapotranspiration, surface roughness, and aerosols. It highlights that tropical deforestation contributes 50% more to global warming than carbon accounting alone suggests and can increase local peak temperatures by over 7.6°C. The authors propose six specific actions for UNFCCC parties to integrate these effects into national GHG inventories, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), REDD+ financing, adaptation planning, the Global Stocktake, and the IPCC's Seventh Assessment Report.

• Forests affect climate stability through four primary non-carbon biophysical processes: albedo (solar energy reflection), evapotranspiration (moisture release that cools the surface), surface roughness (wind turbulence that lifts heat and moisture), and the release of aerosols and chemical compounds that interact with the atmosphere.
• The impact of deforestation varies by scale: globally, tropical deforestation increases warming by 50% more than carbon-only metrics indicate; regionally, it can reduce downstream precipitation across national borders; and locally, it can raise the hottest part of the day by more than 7.6°C.
