Article Synopsis
- Greenhouse gas emissions are primarily responsible for rising global temperatures, with Brazil's major contributions coming from forestry, land use, and agriculture sectors.
- The study analyzed two GHG inventories (Climate TRACE and SEEG) to assess carbon removal's impact on Brazil's national emissions and investigated how seasonal factors like precipitation and photosynthesis affect these estimates.
- Results showed significant differences in GHG inventory estimates, especially in the forestry sector, with the Caatinga biome contributing nearly 50% to Brazil's carbon removals in 2022, emphasizing the importance of halting deforestation for achieving net-zero emissions.
