Feasibility Concern|Forest Expansion
Why this criterion? This scenario reports a near-term forest expansion rate that is above what has been reported historically.
This is a concern because it would mean unprecedented forest expansion, which would go beyond what has been experienced historically.
Why this threshold? The highest annual rate of forest expansion in the last four decades (1990–2020) was estimated at 10 million hectars per year (5 million hectars for planted forest) for the period of 2000-2010 (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), 2020).
