Russia’s plan to reach net zero by 2060 relies on existing forests to absorb ongoing carbon emissionsVarnakovR/Shutterstock Countries are taking a shortcut to net-zero emissions by including forests and other “passive” carbon sinks in their climate plans, in a tactic that will thwart global efforts to halt climate change, leading researchers have warned.
