Soil sequestration might not be the 'win' hoped for
The exact climate action potential of soil carbon sequestration had always been strongly debated.
Eminent scientists have warned there is little justification for excitement around soil carbon sequestration for climate action and for food security.
Increasing the carbon content of agricultural soils is promoted by the United Nations, the EU, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and others as a win-win for climate change mitigation and food security.
