 |  Satellites reveal how forests increase cloud and cool climate
 6 August 2021
Forests are not only key to moderating our climate by sequestering atmospheric carbon,
but they also create a cooling effect by increasing low-level cloud. A first global
assessment using satellite observations has shown that for two-thirds of the world,
afforestation increases low-level cloud cover, with the effect being strongest over
evergreen needleleaf forest.
