Hi Jessica, These are the ones I always use, starting from this popular piece:
https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/31/21115862/davos-1-trillion-trees-controversy-world-economic-forum-campaign <https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/31/21115862/davos-1-trillion-trees-controversy-world-economic-forum-campaign> Most of the fuss around the "1 trillion trees will save us” comes from this paper in Science: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abc8905 <https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abc8905> (notice the erratum, and all the replies they got) In particular the following rebuttal: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aay7976 <https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aay7976> (this is the most important reference I would say) See also the issue with indigenous land rights from the IPCC Land report: https://www.wri.org/insights/ipcc-calls-securing-community-land-rights-fight-climate-change <https://www.wri.org/insights/ipcc-calls-securing-community-land-rights-fight-climate-change> Some more papers that then dealt with specific points of the original paper in 2019: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.15625 <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.15625> (Tree planting: A double-edged sword to fight climate change in an era of megafires) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.15513 <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.15513> (Getting the message right on nature-based solutions to climate change) https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aba8232 <https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aba8232> (Tree planting is not a simple solution) https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaz7005 <https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaz7005> (Climate-driven risks to the climate mitigation potential of forests) https://wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wcc.729 <https://wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wcc.729> (Framing “nature-based” solutions to climate change) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-020-0856-3 <https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-020-0856-3> (Economic and social constraints on reforestation for climate mitigation in Southeast Asia) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13595-020-0922-z <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13595-020-0922-z> (Rethinking global carbon storage potential of trees.
