In a new study led by the Department of Physics, an international group of researchers who developed the science behind net zero demonstrate that relying on ‘natural carbon sinks’ like forests and oceans to offset ongoing CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use will not actually stop global warming.

In The Conversation: The climate and biodiversity crises are entwined, but we risk pitting one against the other

Biology The Conversation

Climate change and biodiversity policies have largely evolved in isolation, even though the two crises are deeply intertwined. The three summits in quick succession make this is an important opportunity to align these agendas. Healthy ecosystems are crucial for climate resilience, while a stable climate is essential to protecting biodiversity.
