A new study published in Nature highlights how climate change and land-use pressures are reducing the Earth’s ability to absorb CO₂. The findings show that natural land sinks are weakening, while tropical forests in Southeast Asia and South America are shifting from carbon sinks to carbon sources, a trend driven by warming, drought, and deforestation.
Understanding these changes is essential for effective climate and drought management strategies.
