Oxfam warns many net zero goals rely too heavily on forestation to offset carbon emissions, providing a potential threat to agricultural land. It estimates that, if land alone was used to remove the world's greenhouse gas emissions in order to achieve net zero by 2050, it would require at least 1.6

Has there been any progress in reducing global carbon emissions since Paris in 2015? The graph at the top shows the trajectory of global carbon emissions (and this is without the land-use figures), so no. It’s our economic activity that’s causing climate change and biodiversity loss.
