It may sound obvious that public policies must be grounded on solid scientific knowledge. And if this knowledge is not yet sufficiently advanced, research should be accelerated (and received appropriate fundings). Things are not that simple and easy, even with such a critical question than carbon, net zero policy, and markets. Dr Vera Ehrenstein (CNRS-EHESS and visiting scholar at Duke Sociology in 2022-2023) invites us to think about these issues in the specific context of studying the roles of forests in mitigating global warming.
