When we use and recycle paper-based packaging, we all play a role in protecting renewable resources, contrib- uting to the sustainable management of Canada’s forests, supporting the circular economy of the paper-based pack- aging industry, and helping to mitigate climate change. Canada’s Forests: Solutions for a Changing Climate Sustainable forestry is not only about replanting trees to replace those that are harvested – though regeneration is very important in helping to create permanent additions to Canada’s forests – but it is also about learning how to retain and encourage the carbon-capturing ability of for- ests so they can be effective carbon sinks, removing car- bon from the atmosphere. Carbon storage by forests is just one of the many rec- ommendations from the United Nations report, Forest Products in the Global Bioeconomy: Enabling substitution by wood-based products and contributing to the Sustain- able Development Goals, which also speaks to the role renewable forest products have in helping to combat cli- mate change. “There is strong evidence at product level that wood products are associated with lower GHG emissions over their entire life cycle when compared to products made from non-renewable or emissions-intensive materials. A review of 488 substitution factors obtained from 64 pub- lished studies indicates that the use of wood and wood- based products is generally associated with lower fossil and process-based emissions when compared to non- wood, functionally equivalent products,” according to the report. As more countries aim to achieve net-zero emissions, including Canada, it will be important to continue learnin- gand better understand the role that forests, and sustain- able forest management, has in mitigating climate change.
