THE ROLE OF DEFORESTATION IN CLIMATE CHANGE

  • 1. student, group 2102 Department of information service and public relations Uzbekistan State World Languages University

Description

This article examines the significant impact of deforestation on climate 
change, exploring the complex interactions between forest ecosystems and the 
Earth's climate system. It delves into the mechanisms through which deforestation 
contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, alters regional climate patterns, and 
exacerbates global warming. Additionally, the article discusses the socio-economic 
drivers of deforestation, including agricultural expansion, logging, and infrastructure 
development, and their implications for forest conservation and climate mitigation 
efforts. By synthesizing scientific research and empirical evidence, the article aims 
to elucidate the critical role of forests in regulating the Earth's climate and 
underscore the importance of addressing deforestation as a key strategy for climate 
change mitigation and adaptation.
