Professor Emily Boyd has been researching loss and damage from climate change for more than 10 years. To her, the news that Venezuela’s last glacier, the Humboldt glacier, is being reclassified as an ice field, is extremely worrying. The speed of change is crazy.

As forests age, their uptake of CO2 declines and, each time forests are planted, there is a risk of additional carbon bei
