2 Paris Agreement Article 2 Holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 C above pre-industrial [ ], recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change. Article 5 Parties should take action to conserve and enhance, as appropriate, sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases [ ], including forests. Article 7 [ ] makes a contribution to the long-term global response to climate change to protect people, livelihoods and ecosystems. [ ] greater levels of mitigation can reduce the need for additional adaptation efforts. UNFCCC, 2015

19 Article 2, 5 & 7 An Earth system perspective - When managing the carbon balance of a forest, unintended but unavoidable changes in surface properties and behavior occur. These should be accounted for when assessing the climate impact of forest management. - Carbon-management and climate-management should not be used interchangeable
