Q for climate scholars: has anyone written a history of Stanford's Energy Modeling Forum? How it got started, how it operates, how it's been funded, its role in climate debates, anything like that? Thanks!

What role can land play in climate mitigation, and how are net zero pledges that depend on land-based carbon offsets undermining climate justice? Mark your calendars for our upcoming webinar w/ authors of the Land Gap report! For more info & to register: https://www.iatp.org/event/mind-gap-national-climate-pledges-overstep-available-land

Mind the Gap! National climate pledges overstep on available land

Nations, companies, and other institutions are responding to the accelerating climate crisis challenge by making net-zero pledges. But the magnitude of the transformation required has led these net-zero pledges to rely heavily on carbon offsets. Offsets attempt to make good an emission in one place or sector with some kind of carbon (or carbon equivalent) capture elsewhere. Land-based carbon sequestration has become an increasingly common component of net-zero pledges.
