To investigate whether existing and expected national policies will allow Brazil to meet its net-zero GHG emissions pledge by 2050, the authors applied a detailed regional integrated assessment modelling approach. This included quantifying the role of nature-based solutions, such as the protection and restoration of ecosystems, and engineered solutions, such as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage.
