Regrowing Previously Logged Forests:
Regrowing previously logged forests is an example of climate change mitigation.
1. Climate Change Mitigation: Climate change mitigation refers to efforts to reduce or prevent the emission of greenhouse gases. Regrowing forests contributes to mitigation by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis, thereby reducing the overall concentration of greenhouse gases.
2. Climate Resilience and Adaptation:
Climate Resilience: Involves enhancing the ability of systems to withstand and recover from climate-related impacts.
Climate Adaptation: Refers to adjustments in systems or practices to reduce the negative effects of climate change and take advantage of new opportunities. While regrowing forests can contribute to adaptation by improving ecosystem services, its primary role is in mitigation by sequestering carbon.

Climate Mitigation Strategies: The CFA Institute highlights various strategies for climate change mitigation, including afforestation and reforestation as key practices for sequestering carbon and reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.
