Why land—a scarce resource—is so important for climate protection
Phys.org ·
A new study quantifies, for the first time, the interrelationships and competing objectives of two major areas of action for reducing greenhouse gas emissions: the phaseout of fossil fuels and measures taken on natural land, such as farmland, forests and wetlands. It demonstrates how a well-balanced policy mix can keep costs low for both people and nature. The study, conducted at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), was published in Nature Sustainability.
