While promoting carbon sequestration is crucial, relying on policies like the Greening Factor for mitigation may oversimplify complex environmental processes. Carbon sequestration is highly context-dependent, and the effectiveness of greening interventions may be limited by local conditions. Simply requiring net gains in carbon sequestration may encourage symbolic measures rather than meaningful long-term solutions. Additionally, relying on land conversion without addressing underlying drivers of carbon emissions, such as unsustainable development and intensive agriculture, could result in short-term gains without addressing the systemic causes of carbon emissions. A more holistic approach that integrates stricter emissions reductions is necessary for genuine climate impact.
