"Natural climate solutions, also including protection of carbon-storing peatlands and better management of soils and grasslands, could account for 37% of all actions needed by 2030 under the 195-nation Paris plan, it said.

those envisaged by a UN panel of climate scientists in a 2014 report, it
said"
