Extended Data Fig. 4. Critical natural assets identified through optimization at the global level of two climate-relevant NCP: vulnerable carbon and vegetation-mediated atmospheric moisture regulation.
As in Fig. 1, the NCP accumulation curve reflects the total area required to maintain target levels of both global NCP (optimized globally, not within each country), with dotted lines denoting the area of critical natural assets (90% of global climate NCP in 39% of land area). The map shows critical natural assets for global climate NCP, with darker shades connoting greater contribution to aggregate NCP.
