Global Electrification Strategies
Climate change mitigation efforts have led to shifts from fossil-fuel dependence to large-scale renewable energy. However, renewable energy sources require significant land and could come at a cost to ecosystems. Here we explore the potential tradeoffs between climate mitigation and energy costs, especially negative impacts on biodiversity.
