Irrecoverable carbon refers to the vast stores of carbon in nature that are vulnerable to release from human activity and, if lost, could not be restored by 2050 - when the world must reach net-zero emissions to avoid the worst impacts of climate change (Noon et al., 2021). I created an online application to explore irrecoverable carbon data in combination with that related to biodiversity; explore the application by clicking the image below or navigating here: https://sparc-apps.shinyapps.io/irrecoverable_carbon_biodiversity_app/​​​​​​​
