Cash and land rights likely flashpoints
This would include measures such as protecting 30% of land and seas by the end of the decade, and forcing businesses to assess and disclose their impacts on nature. There is a gap of at least $711bn a year to pay for nature protection, according to a 2019 assessment by several conservation institutes.
They stress a Paris-style treaty to protect land and trees is desperately needed, without which it would be impossible to meet climate goals anyway.

Frontiers | Modeling past and future spatiotemporal distributions of airborne allergenic pollen across the contiguous United StatesExposures to airborne allergenic pollen have been increasing under the influence of changing climate. A modeling system incorporating pollen emissions and atmospheric transport and fate processes has been developed and applied to simulate spatiotemporal distributions of two major aeroallergens, oak and ragweed pollens, across the contiguous United States (CONUS) for both historical (year 2004) and future (year 2047) conditions. The development of the emission model was described in Cai et al. (2019). The transport and fate of pollen presented here is simulated using our adapted version of the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model. Model performance was evaluated using observed pollen counts at monitor stations across the CONUS for 2004. Our analysis shows that there is statistically significant correlation between observed seasonal mean concentrations and corresponding simulated seasonal mean concentrations (oak: Pearson=0.345, p-value=0.03; ragweed: Pearson=0.399, p-value=0.01), and that the model was able to capture the statistical patterns of observed pollen concentration distributions in 2004 for most of the pollen monitoring stations. Simulation of pollen levels for a future year (2047) considered conditions corresponding to the RCP8.5 scenario. Modeling results show substantial regional variability both in the magnitude and directionality of changes in pollen metrics. Ragweed pollen season is estimated to start earlier and last longer for all nine climate regions of the CONUS, with increasing average pollen concentrations in most regions. The timing and magnitude of oak pollen season vary across the nine climate regions, with the largest increases in pollen concentrations expected in the Northeast region.
