With the adoption of the 2015 Paris Agreement, the global community committed to limiting the rise in global temperatures to below 2°C. Achieving this goal requires reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and the implementation of Carbon Dioxide Removals (CDRs). Among the 1,202 climate scenarios outlined in the IPCC AR6 report, over half depend on large-scale deployment of CDRs. A key category of CDRs is Nature-based Solutions (NbS), which includes land management among its practices, and holds an estimated global mitigation potential of over 10 GtCO2 per year. This paper addresses land-based NbS. Heavy reliance on NbS for mitigation can be risky if their potential is overestimated or if their implementation does not account for climate and social impacts, making a deeper understanding of their environmental effects and the perceptions of those implementing the practices essential.
