Countries bet on forests and soils to reach net-zero
Summary by Science Daily
New research highlights the risks of countries relying on nature-based solutions to achieve net-zero. National climate strategies set out how countries plan to reduce emissions, for example by phasing out fossil-fuel use, to get to net-zero in 2050. The study found, once the bulk of emissions have been reduced, countries plan to 'cancel out' the left-over difficult to decarbonise emissions, such as those from agriculture, by using forests and so…

Countries making risky bet on forests and soils to reach net zero
New research by the University of East Anglia (UEA) highlights the risks of countries relying on nature-based solutions to achieve net zero.

Long-term national climate strategies bet on forests and soils to reach net-zero - Communications Earth & Environment
The deployment of carbon dioxide removal is essential to reach global and national net-zero emissions targets, but little attention has been paid to its practical deployment by countries. Here, we analyse how carbon dioxide removal methods are integrated into 41 of the 50 Long-term Low Emission Development Strategies submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), before 2022. We show that enhancing forest and soi
