Forest Day was a fantastic event with 1,500 people and many excellent presentations on ground-breaking work on how to restore forests.
Jan Heino, R K Pachauri, Gro Harlem Brundtland, Troels Lund Poulsen, Elinor Ostrom where on the openning session.
Pachauri mentioned, in a personal capacity that 1.5C seems a more appropriate targtet than 2.0 implying the need for perhaps 350 limit and the consequently much tighter caps.
Elinor noted that forests do better as carbon stores when they are managed by local cummunity .
At the end Yvo de Boer reminded us that the UNFCCC treaty is about Sustainable Development rather than just cliamte change. We need to pay more attention to how communities can be sustained.
