The Science of Carbon Dioxide Removal: What Is It and Is It Needed?
September 20 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
As the world navigates the necessary transition away from polluting fuels toward clean energy, many scientists believe we must also remove climate pollution that has already been dumped into the atmosphere. The call for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) grows stronger as new analyses find that the global community is not on track to meet the Paris Agreement targets.
In the first webinar of a new six-part series, we will explore the science behind CDR, how it differs from carbon capture and storage (CCS), what role it plays in broader climate efforts, and why it must be coupled with direct emission reductions. This series will explore the science, strategies, and policies of CDR. We will facilitate co-learning between stakeholders, address knowledge gaps, and emphasize the importance of engaging, protecting, and benefiting local communities with any proposed CDR projects.
This webinar is co-hosted by California Environmental Voters, The Climate Center, and Project 2030.
