In 2023, global land carbon sinks—the Earth’s forests, soils, and vegetation that absorb CO2—experienced a dramatic decline, as revealed by a study published in National Science Review by several international research teams. Using dynamic global vegetation models, satellite fire emissions, OCO-2 satellite measurements, and ocean model emulators, the study provides a fast-track carbon budget for 2023, identifying unprecedented weakening of land carbon sinks.
