Nature-based climate solutions such as preserving forests and
improving agricultural practices have a role in limiting climate change.
But they couldn’t possibly do all the work. Reducing fossil fuel usage
is even more important. Continuing to use fossil fuels will just dig the
hole deeper and deeper and deeper, no matter how many trees we plant.

Sure,
every country including Canada has to improve its policies on forestry,
protected areas, and agriculture. BUT ALSO significantly reduce carbon
emissions from fossil fuels like oil and natural gas.
Canada is a
Top 10 global polluter. To become carbon neutral in the next two or
three decades means phasing out fossil fuels and taking advantage of the
benefits that nature can provide.
