Techno-ecological modeling demonstrates a 47.0 GtCO2e annual net carbon shift across global land systems, highlighting a viable pathway to net-negative atmospheric drawdown by 2037.
Current climate mitigation strategies are constrained by centralized, energy-intensiveinfrastructures and reductionist land-use models. Here, I present a techno-ecologicalframework capable of driving a global net carbon flux shift of ≈47.0 GtCO2e yr⁻¹ by2037. The model deploys ≈1 million decentralized, forest-based ecovillagesaccommodating ≈2 billion residents on ≈300 million hectares. Each settlementintegrates dielectric liquid-immersion edge computing (1,425 kWth recovered per hub)with closed-loop biointensive agriculture and silvopastoral wildfire buffers. Re-evaluatingraw Global Burden of Disease datasets reveals that human longevity peaks at ananimal-source average food intake of ≈35 g/person/day red meat, identifying a criticalnon-linearity that refutes plant-exclusive planetary diets. Meeting this nutritionaloptimum requires a +74% net global supply expansion directed strictly toundernourished, low-SDI populations. Extrapolating empirical soil organic carbonaccrual across global agricultural lands converts the current +12.0 GtCO2e yr⁻¹ land-usesource into an active −24.0 GtCO2e yr⁻¹ terrestrial biological sink. Coupling thermaldata center recovery with agrochemical disruption transitions the planetary carbonbalance into net-negative atmospheric drawdown (−2.0 to −5.0 GtCO2e yr⁻¹ ) by 2037,offering an integrated pathway across all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
