Huge thanks to Joana Melo for leading this work!
🌳 The Hub centers on national GHG inventories and compares them with global datasets (e.g., Global Carbon Budget, Global Forest Watch), applying a “translation” approach to align definitions across communities.
It support efforts under the IPCC to increase confidence on land use emissions.

🌳 Puzzled by land-use emissions data?
➡️ The LULUCF Data Hub description paper now in discussion:
essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es...
🌍 The Hub is an open-access platform that compiles, harmonizes, and visualizes country-level CO₂ fluxes from land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF).

Chi è Lysenko, e cosa c’entra con Trump, l’IPCC e la democrazia?
Ne abbiamo scritto nel Il Sole 24 Ore con il filosofo della scienza Matteo Motterlini.
Uscire dall'IPCC non significa sottrarsi al riscaldamento globale, così come gettare il termometro non fa sparire la febbre.

All’inizio del nuovo anno, può essere utile chiedersi a che punto siamo nella crisi climatica.
È una sfida che ci chiede di scegliere insieme la rotta giusta, prima che la fisica decida per noi.

But uncertainty isn’t ignorance and shouldn’t excuse inaction. It should drive us to act on what we can control: the ship’s turning radius—our greenhouse gas emissions.

Recent pledges lower risk further (yellow), yet we remain in dangerous waters. To reach safer zones, the turn must accelerate (green).

After long discussions, just like at climate conferences, the danger is acknowledged and the collective decision is made to steer the ship ...

With a mixed-results at COP30 - i.e. good intentions but no concrete plans for the “transition away from fossil fuels” - don’t give up.
Let’s remember the progress made since the Paris Agreement and the options ahead of us. That’s the message of the image below

@giacgrassi.bsky.social e @caserinik.bsky.social fanno a polpette il rapporto dei 5 negaioli per il DOE. Sono stati più veloci del solito, ma gli argomenti di quei "mercanti di dubbi... sono già stati più volte confutati anche su Climalteranti."

🤔 However, land use remains a blind spot in tracking progress under the #ParisAgreement, mainly due to inconsistencies between global models and country-reported data.
💡 It is crucial that future #GlobalStocktakes include comparisons between modeled and country-provided net land-use emissions.

What is the contribution of land use to countries' climate pledges?
🖋️ A new paper led by Rosa Roman-Cuesta explores this question and offers a way forward.
🌲 The study finds that land use makes up a quarter of global 2030 mitigation pledges — mostly reliant on external support.

Thanks to the stellar co-authors, including @glenpeters.bsky.social , @pepcanadell.bsky.social , @gidden.bsky.social and others, and to all participants of the IPCC Expert Meeting.
7/7
This is relevant for forest-rich nations, where “natural” sinks often play a major role in net-zero pledges.
Policymakers need to grasp these implications and adjust their climate ambition accordingly
6/7
We also urge the scientific community to generate these inventory-aligned estimates and scenarios, and to explore the implications.
Key takeaways: under inventory definitions, the remaining carbon budget is smaller—and reaching net-zero CO₂ alone is not enough to stop warming.
