Fossil fuel burning is the big issue but continued forest cover loss will make climate targets harder to achieve, say scientists.The treaty aims to limit global temperature rise to well below 2C above pre-industrial times to avoid dangerous impacts.
Tree cover loss from tropical forests is estimated to account for nearly 10% of global carbon emissions.
While trees are also said to provide more than 20% of climate solutions.
They not only absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, they then lock that carbon away.
The world is currently on track for a temperature rise this century of 3C or more, posing a significant challenge to the Paris ambition, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
