Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Absorption by Forests in BRICS Countries: Current Status and Prospects
https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2026-2-60-65
Abstract
It was established that the largest share of net greenhouse gas emissions offset by forests occurs in Russia (58.8%) due to its extensive forest area, followed by South Africa (16.7%) and Brazil (13.3%). In India and China, forests compensate only 5.2% and 6.3% of emissions, respectively. China demonstrates the highest absolute CO2 absorption level alongside the world’s highest anthropogenic emissions. It is emphasized that the low value of the share of offset emissions is associated with the highest anthropogenic emissions worldwide. The study concludes
