Attribution of a record-breaking cold event in the historically warmest year of 2023 and assessing future risks by Yangbo Ye, Cheng Qian, Aiguo Dai, Yuting Zhang, Jiacheng Jiang, Xiaoye Zhang

“…In contrast, 2023-like events will be similar to present events when the 1.5 °C target of the Paris Agreement is achieved. These findings highlight the dampening effect of anthropogenic climate change on cold events, but adaptation measures for future risks of 2023-like cold events will be needed by the end of the century if carbon neutrality is achieved.…”

Unaccountable counting: the folly of incorporating open ocean carbon sinks in Nationally Determined Contributions by Berger, Manon, Comte, Adrien, Kwiatkowski, Lester, Bopp, Laurent

“…Additionally, the EEZ oceanic carbon sink is already considered in estimates of remaining carbon budgets to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. Therefore, integrating these fluxes into NDCs would lead to inconsistency between national objectives and global climate goals.We argue that to identify the additionality of management measures aimed at enhancing the anthropogenic carbon sink in EEZ waters, robust assessments of the baseline carbon sink and how it would have evolved without intervention will be needed. …”

Effects of close-to-nature forest management on carbon stocks in Pinus tabulaeformis plantations in northern China by Jinmei Xu, Huiling Tian, Jun Xiao, Zhaochen Li, Wenfa Xiao, Runsheng Yin

“…Scientifically understanding how to increase the carbon stocks of plantations under the great demand for forest carbon sinks to meet the 2.0 or 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement is attracting mounting attention. As one of the most promising plantation management regimes, it is pertinent to ask whether close-to-nature management could improve the carbon stocks of Pinus tabuliformis plantations in trees, shrubs, grasses, litter, and soil. …”
