The missing ability to influence suppliers in their value chain, is a major barrier to deliver on decarbonization targets. Reasons for the lack of collaboration are supplier fragmentation, unclear mutual benefits and low support in implementation processes.
Reducing Emissions in Global Supply Chains by Improving Climate Performance of Suppliers

Higher carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere cause forests to grow faster. This effect is aided by warmer temperatures in cold regions, which allow forests to grow for more of the year. While there remains uncertainty regarding the precise quantity, [estimates today](https://www.nature.com/articles/s43017-023-00456-3) are that climate change causes forests to absorb roughly 10 billion additional metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year.
