Climate solutions can clash with nature: 1.5°C pathways may place land-intensive CDR on up to 13% of high-biodiversity areas.
Protecting hotspots could remove over half of planned CDR land, unless we design climate action for nature too.

Biodiversity implications of land-intensive carbon dioxide removal - Nature Climate Change
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 ...
