Achieving the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C climate target may come at an unexpected cost: shrinking croplands. A new study finds global cropland could shrink by nearly 13% under current national climate pledges, with the steepest losses in the Global South. Under the Paris Agreement, countries must adhere to specific climate pledges to mitigate global temperature rise. Even so, keeping warming within 2 °C by 2100 is a long shot.
