Evaluating the near- and long-term role of carbon dioxide removal in meeting global climate objectives

G. Ganti, T. Gasser, et al.

This paper reveals crucial insights into the land-sector scenario information missing from the IPCC's 6th Assessment Report regarding carbon dioxide removal (CDR) deployment. The research highlights the pivotal role of afforestation and reforestation in mitigating climate change, accounting for about 10% of net greenhouse gas emission reductions by 2030. It emphasizes fairness and sustainability in future assessments, making this work by Gaurav Ganti, Thomas Gasser, Mai Bui, Oliver Geden, William F. Lamb, Jan C. Minx, Carl-Friedrich Schleussner, and Matthew J. Gidden a must-listen.
