The role of China's terrestrial carbon sequestration 2010-2060 in offsetting energy-related CO₂ emissions.

ABSTRACT: Energy consumption dominates annual CO₂ emissions in China. It is essential to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions from energy consumption to reach national carbon neutrality by 2060, while the role of terrestrial carbon sequestration in offsetting energy-related CO₂ emissions cannot be underestimated. Natural climate solutions (NCS), including improvements in terrestrial carbon sequestration, represent readily deployable options to offset anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. However, the extent to which China's terrestrial carbon sequestration in the future, especially when target-oriented managements (TOMs) are implemented, can help to mitigate energy-related CO₂ emissions is far from certain. By synthesizing available findings and using seve
