On 30 May, the Chilean Climate Change Framework Law was enacted to address climate change challenges and decrease Chile’s greenhouse gases with a goal of emissions neutrality by 2050 (1). The framework includes climate change mitigation through nature-based solutions such as carbon sinks (i.e., trees and soils that absorb more carbon than they release) in native forests and plantations with native species, but it discourages monoculture plantations. The strategies in the law underestimate the potential environmental value of monocultures.
