Co-producing climate policy and negative emissions: trade-offs for sustainable land-use

摘要: Under the Paris Agreement, nations have committed to preventing dangerous global warming. Scenarios for achieving net-zero emissions in second half of this century depend on land (forests and bioenergy) remove carbon from atmosphere. Modelled levels land-based mitigation could reduce availability productive agricultural land, encroach natural with potentially significant social environmental consequences. However, these issues are poorly recognized policy-uptake modelled outputs. Understanding how science policy interact produce expectations about pathways allows us consider trade-offs inherent relying mitigation.
