The article highlights the need for multi-faceted climate solutions like trees and forests

Addressing climate change is about more than solely carbon removal, according to a new article published by U.S. News & World Report authored by Arbor Day Foundation chief executive Dan Lambe.

In the article, he detailed how and why trees and forests are a more versatile and cost-effective way of addressing climate change.
