Feasibility Concern|Deforestation
Why this criterion? This scenario reports a level of near-term deforestation that is above what has been reported historically.
This is a concern because it would mean unprecedented deforestation, which would go beyond what has been experienced historically.
Why this threshold? The highest annual rate of deforestation in 1990–2020 was estimated at 16 million hectars per year (12 million hectars for primary deforestation) for the period of 1990-2000 (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), 2020).
