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

K. Dooley, K. L. Christiansen, et al.

This research reveals that approximately 1 billion hectares of land are needed for carbon dioxide removal as part of national climate pledges, with a significant portion involving land-use change. Conducted by Kate Dooley, Kirstine Lund Christiansen, Jens Friis Lund, Wim Carton, and Alister Self, the findings emphasize the critical need for transparency in climate commitments.
