A review of trends and drivers of greenhouse gas emissions by sector from 1990 to 2018 (vol 16, 073005, 2021)

Summary: Historically, human uses of land have significantly impacted ecosystems, biodiversity, and the atmosphere through greenhouse gas emissions. Despite global efforts to mitigate emissions, land-use emissions have continued to rise, driven by factors such as population growth, agricultural production, and land-use changes. Regional disparities in emissions intensity and the disproportionate impact of certain products, such as beef, emphasize the need for targeted mitigation strategies. Our findings provide insights into the complex drivers of global land-use emissions, offering valuable information for future conservation and sustainability efforts.
