Compounding Climate Impacts Drive Tropical Forest Decline
New reporting warns that tropical forests are declining faster as climate impacts stack up on top of one another. Heat, drought, fires and storms that once struck separately are now compounding, weakening forests' ability to recover and undermining their role as carbon sinks. Scientists say the combination of repeated stresses threatens some of the world's most important ecosystems.
Why now: Fresh reporting highlights how overlapping climate extremes are accelerating damage to tropical forests.
