Mitigating near-term climate change
This Environmental Research Letters study synthesizes how reducing short‑lived climate pollutants, accounting for carbon removal durability, and using dynamic baselines can more accurately measure and incentivize near‑term climate mitigation. The authors outline a framework to align climate targets with immediate warming reduction needs.
