Given the Paris Accord’s aspirations, the climate challenge facing humanity can be expressed in simple terms: halve annual carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions by 2030, halve them again by 2040, and again by 2050. Here we focus on some aspects of land-use and negative emission technologies (NET) dependent on the land.
