Feasibility Concern|Land Cover
Why this criterion? This scenario reports land cover that is inconsistent with near-term trends.
This is a concern because the underlying modelling likely makes false assumptions on land cover and the efforts needed to reduce emissions while growing sufficient food.
Why this threshold? Near-term values for land cover are provided by Chini (2026).
The threshold for 2030 is derived from this source as follows:
• ±10% deviation will lead to exclusion.
Note that this range not only give models some leeway to deviate, but also account for uncertainty in the underlying data sources.
