The 2025 Land Gap report was co-authored by CCJ executive committee member Dr. Jessica Dempsey.
Read the full report here: landgap.org
The report details the tax, trade, debt, and regulatory systems that lock countries into cycles of extraction. To make meaningful change, these systems have to be addressed.
Countries have set targets to halt #deforestation by 2030; actual plans do not reflect this goal. Under current plans, there is a marginal decline in current deforestation, leaving a #ForestGap of 20 million hectares per year.
Most of the land pledged rests with a few large, high-emitting countries. If they fall short on meeting targets, the actual area achieved is considerably smaller. An over-reliance on land-based carbon removal distracts from the necessary goal of a fossil fuel phaseout and ecosystem protection.
A new #LandGap report shows that land pledged by countries for carbon removal exceeds 1 billion hectares; this is an area larger than China. Is this realistic? A thread.
