Biodiversity implications of land-intensive carbon dioxide removal
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 30 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02557-5
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) plays an important role in decarbonization pathways to meet climate goals, but some methods are land-intensive. Multimodel analysis reveals conflicts between biodiversity and CDR that are distributed unevenly, and shows that synergies are crucial to meet climate and conservation goals.
