Reconciling anthropogenic land-use emissions between global models and national inventories

Saturday, 16th November 2024

Presenting on the outcome of the IPCC TFI Expert Meeting on the current inconsistency in land-use CO2 emissions between global models, used to determine the net-zero pathways in the IPCC Assessment Reports, and national GHG inventories as well as country climate pledges, used to assess compliance with the Paris Agreement. These inconsistencies, equivalent to ca.15% of global CO2 emissions, have important implications for the assessment of collective efforts under the Paris Agreement.
