Land Sector Climate Mitigation Vs. Dietary Consumption (IMAGE)
Caption
Trade-offs and synergies between annual land sector mitigation and dietary energy consumption by 2050 under a uniform carbon price. Global annual mitigation potential in GtCO2eq in 2050 vs. loss in global average daily dietary energy (kcal per capita and day) consumption, compared to a baseline scenario without mitigation efforts. The convex lines represent policies where all countries participate in the mitigation effort assuming three alternative mitigation policies: no SOC sequestration incentives (No SOC, straight line); SOC sequestration incentives without considering associated yield improvements (SOC, dashed line); SOC sequestration incentives considering yield improvements (SOC+, pointed line). For a 1.5 °C scenario, implications of a regional mitigation policy are shown for Annex I & China (red). Arrows indicate the impact in the climate policy for the three policy variants (no SOC, filled triangle; SOC - dashed triangle; SOC+, pointed triangle).
