Temporary nature-based carbon removal can lower peak warming in a well-below 2 °C scenario
There is increased attention on possible strategies to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (so-called carbon dioxide removal or CDR). which would be required to reach a global net-zero target if we do not succeed in eliminating all sources of emissions. Among CDR approaches, nature-based climate solutions (NbCS) encompass a range of strategies aimed at preserving and enhancing carbon storage in ecosystems and on agricultural lands. A key appeal of NbCS is the potential to contribute to climate mitigation efforts, while also generating additional co-benefits for human well-being and biodiversity.
