There's no one-size-fits-all solution to climate change

(Field Museum) The world's forests are crucial to slowing climate change, but they're being destroyed to make room for farms, mines, and other economic ventures. One solution might be carbon finance: giving companies and countries monetary incentives to reduce carbon emissions caused by deforestation. But how effective is carbon finance? A new study suggests that its potential for success varies widely -- it can work under the right conditions, but it's not a one-size-fits-all solution.
