- Abstract
- The natural carbon cycle provides a critical lever to fight climate change. Overall, the biosphere is a net carbon sink (Rockström et al., 2021). Carbon sequestration in plants and soils currently absorbs around 4.8 Gt of CO₂ annually (Friedlingstein et al., 2023). By some estimates, it could contribute 37% of cost-effective emissions reductions through 2030 (Griscom et al., 2017). This has not landed on deaf ears. According to Grassi et al. (2017), land use and forests made up a quarter of the emissions reductions planned under the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) submitted by signatories of the Paris Agreement
