As president of the Climate Change Conference of the Parties, Chile has advocated for developing ambitious commitments to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions to achieve carbon-neutrality by 2050. However, Chile's motivations and ambitious push to reach carbon-neutrality are complicated by a backdrop of severe drought, climate change impacts (i.e., wildfires, tree mortality), and the use of industrial plantations as a mitigation strategy. This has become more evident as widespread and severe wildfires have impacted large areas of industrial plantations, transforming the land-use, land-use change, and forestry sector from a carbon sink to a net carbon source. Consequently, Chile must diversify its climate actions to achieve carbon-neutrality. Nature-based solutions, including wetlands-peatlands and oceans, represent alternative climate actions that can be implemented to tackle greenhouse gas emissions at a national level. Diversification, however, must guarantee Chile's long-term carbon sequestration capacity without compromising the ecological functionality of biodiverse tree-less habitats and native forest ecosystems.

使智利的气候行动远离工业种植园

作为缔约方气候变化大会的主席,智利一直倡导制定雄心勃勃的承诺,以减少温室气体排放,到 2050 年实现碳中和。然而,智利实现碳中和的动机和雄心勃勃的努力在严峻的背景下变得复杂干旱、气候变化影响(.、野火、树木死亡),以及使用工业种植园作为缓解策略。随着广泛和严重的野火影响了大面积的工业种植园,土地利用、土地利用变化和林业部门从碳汇转变为净碳源,这一点变得更加明显。因此,智利必须使其气候行动多样化,以实现碳中和。基于自然的解决方案,包括湿地-泥炭地和海洋,代表了可以在国家层面实施以解决温室气体排放的替代气候行动。然而,多样化必须保证智利的长期固碳能力,同时又不损害生物多样性无树木栖息地和原生森林生态系统的生态功能。
