Correction to: Nature Climate Change https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-026-02557-5, published online 30 January 2026. In the originally published version of this article, the description of the illustrative indication of effect direction required further detail. In the assessed scenarios, the deployment of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) partly occurs outside the bounds of the maximum biomass plantation potential map, which we used for our illustrative effect indication.

Abstract Pathways consistent with global climate objectives typically deploy billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from land-intensive methods such as forestation and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage. Such large-scale deployment of land-intensive CDR may have negative consequences for biodiversity.

Abstract Food systems face multi-dimensional pressures and require integrated assessments of environmental, social, health and economic dimensions to inform their transformation. Although economic equilibrium models and integrated assessment models have been instrumental in this context, future decision-making requires more diverse and inclusive participatory processes.
