"Land management categories should be disaggregated in emissions reporting and targets".
"Targets should acknowledge the need for Geological Net Zero, meaning one tonne of CO₂ permanenty restored to the solid Earth from every tonne still generated from fossil sources."
"By adding to cumulative emissions, any entity, country or corporation adds to the total passive carbon sink that needs protection for the foreseeable future."

"Earth’s forests reached a tipping point. They had grown dense, lush canopies at the start of one of Earth’s most intense episodes of greenhouse warming. But those canopies began to thin."
"The structure of a forest – and importantly its canopy – controls the amount of light that reaches the forest floor, the temperature, water habitat and amount of carbon the forest can store, making it one of the clearest indicators of ecosystem function."
"Forest canopies opened, exposing the ground to more sunlight and altering the movement of water through the landscape."
"As temperatures climbed, heat and drought overwhelmed the benefits of higher carbon dioxide levels. The canopy rapidly thinned as trees died, and it remained much thinner for over 100,000 years."
"Ancient soils gave way to coarser river deposits".

37% of Germany's #climate bioeconomy footprint stems from #livestock. As the consumption of #meat in Germany is 3x higher than dietary recommendations, related #environment pressures can be decreased thru dietary change—which would also be healthier: doi.org/10.1016/j.sp... #Footprint #Health

#Mining sub-Saharan Africa is expanding rapidly. This poses a key threat to tropical forests.

"For every hectare of direct deforestation due to the mine footprint, mining triggers, on average, 34 hectares of additional offsite loss within five years through ancillary activities, including agriculture and settlements. Mines extracting cobalt and copper—key energy transition minerals—caused the highest amount of additional deforestation."

Morton et al. (2026). "Mining triggers extensive additional deforestation in sub-Saharan Africa" https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10551-2 🧩 🧵

"The authors report that the occurrence of extensive deforestation in tandem with climate change will cause the remaining rainforest to lose resilience at global-warming levels of or slightly higher than 1.5 °C — rather than 4 °C — above pre-industrial levels".

Assets owners "can push for the acknowledgement of systemic climate risks by asset managers, and influence managers to improve their climate practices. Reclaim Finance has analysed how asset owners engage asset managers, and offers an overview of best practices that can be replicated."

I was pleased to participate to the #OEMCGW23 at #Eurac in Bolzano. I contributed for CMCC with two posters: one illustrating a selection of in-situ datasets to be used in the
#OpenEarthMonitor project, and one on the current portfolio of ICOS_RI ecosystem stations datasets and the works-in-progress for #eddycovariance #footprint products and harmonisation with other global Network under #fluxnet. Such an inspiring experience!
