The expansion of agroforestry could provide substantial climate change mitigation (up to
0.31 Pg C yr− 1), comparable to other prominent natural climate solutions such as …

Improved forest management (IFM) has the potential to remove and store large quantities of
carbon from the atmosphere. Around the world, 293 IFM offset projects have produced 11 …

It is unclear how much carbon should be stored in temporary and risky offsets to compensate
one ton of CO2 emissions. Here we cast the social value of an offset (SVO), measured in …

The credibility of carbon offset mechanisms is threatened by many issues related to their true
effectiveness. We advocate that these issues cannot be effectively addressed without a …

Global climate-change overshoot scenarios, where warming exceeds Paris Agreement limits
before being brought back down, are highly dependent on land-based carbon dioxide …

California's cap-and-trade compliance offset market incentivizes forest managers to maintain
elevated carbon stocks. It provides these incentives without enforcing standardized fire …

Nature‐based climate solutions (NCS) are championed as a primary tool to mitigate climate
change, especially in forested regions capable of storing and sequestering vast amounts of …

Net-zero targets have significantly increased carbon offset demand. Carbon offsets are
issued based on ex-ante estimates of project emissions reductions, though systematic …

As one of the leading programs and largest subnational carbon-crediting mechanism in the
world, California's Offset Program and carbon market reflect key aspects of polycentric …

Forest carbon markets (FCMs) have emerged as a significant means to direct resources
toward urgent climate action that can mobilize a large set of actors and catalyze funding …
