"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."

Allen et al. (2024). https://rdcu.be/d9Rnm

"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".

Adherence to an adapted Planetary Health Diet (more fruits & #legumes; less #dairy, red #meat, animal fats & added #sugar) in China was linked to reduced GHG #emissions, water use & #landuse, as well as lower risk of all-cause mortality: doi.org/10.1007/s003... #environment #health #footprint

2/ This is a short summary of the plan and how it is supposed to work.

Currently it is German only, but an English translation will follow.

The time has come. We're starting. When will we reach 1,000? When 10,000? When a million?
