Abstract
Tropical deforestation and climate change are two of the most urgent global environmental problems. In developed countries, climate change may damage valuable ecosystems and has the potential to cause significant economic and health costs. In developing countries, climate change and tropical deforestation, combined with other local and regional environmental problems, are threatening the ability of many countries to meet basic human needs.
Revised and extended version of a paper presented at the IEA Bioenergy Task 25 workshop “Bioenergy for mitigation of CO2 emissions” on September, 27–30, 1999, in Gatlinburg/Tennessee (Niles/Schwarze, 2000).
