Extended Data Fig. 1

Carbon sequestration potential calculated based on mean global sequestration rates. Carbon emissions relate to CO2-equivalents emitted from use of fossil fuels in the year 2019. CSCC are averaged over all scenarios presented in Ricke et al.25,26. Bubble size reflects absolute carbon sequestration potential in coastal ecosystems (Australia ~10.6MtC yr-1).
