New paper in Nat. Comms w. @klchristiansen.bsky.social et al. "We show that countries’ climate pledges require approximately 1 billion ha of land for removals. For over 40% of this area, the pledges envisage the conversion of existing land uses to forests." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Over-reliance on land for carbon dioxide removal in net-zero climate pledges - Nature Communications

Achieving net-zero climate targets requires substantial land for carbon dioxide removal. This paper quantifies the land area in countries’ climate pledges at approximately 1 billion hectares, often in...

Forgot to add: “sounds like a great solution, however Supplementary Table S86 mentions it will require a billion hectares of additional land”

Now that the manuscript has been submitted, I finally feel comfortable enough to share that this is happening! Overshoot, vol. 1 - to be published by Verso, Autumn 2024.

This is just chilling new research. Can we please stop talking about #netzero and just talk about reducing emissions? theconversation.com/carbon-budge...

Carbon budget for 1.5°C will run out in six years at current emissions levels – new research

For a two-in-three chance of staying within 1.5°C, the budget shrinks to one-and-a-half years.

Today, our paper updating the amount of carbon we can release before breaching the Paris agreement temperature targets has been released into the world! Read it www.nature.com/articles/s41..., about it here: scienceisshiny.wordpress.com/2023/10/30/c...

Calling everyone working on political ecologies of carbon removal, carbon offsetting and net zero! We're now inviting abstracts for our CDR stream at POLLEN24. Deadline is 1 December, more details in the call text below. Join us in Lund next June! politicalecologynetwork.org/2023/10/23/p...

If offsets are regulated so that they're less wracked with fraud and false claims, then they deliver less value to investors In other words: their entire purpose is to not work. They are designed from the ground up to be fraud: if they work, they don't work www.bnnbloomberg.ca/lombard-odie...

For anyone researching #carbonremoval, #carbonoffsets and #NetZero, send us an abstract for our CDR stream at #POLLEN24. Deadline is December 1st and the conference is June 10-12th. Hope to see you there 🌳 politicalecologynetwork.org/2023/10/23/p...

#HiSky I'm a PhD in political ecology at University of Copenhagen. I research international carbon markets, corporate net-zero pledges, and nature-based carbon removal. Also continuous to be unimpressed with 🇩🇰 climate politics. Excited to connect with fellow scholars and activists 🌿
