What does it take to close the huge carbon removal gap?

Enhancing carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is key, along with rapid emissions reductions, to meet the climate goals of the Paris Agreement. Analyzing various key aspects of the industry, the detailed report covers the current state of CDR. 

The authors found that there is a wide gap between what countries plan to do and what is needed to meet global climate goals. 

A reportmessage developed by CDR experts who author the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and lead CDR's main research projects.

Bridging the carbon removal gap

To keep warming below 2°C, the world must remove huge amounts of CO2 from the air. CDR involves ways to capture CO2 and keep it stored in places like soil, oceans or products. Examples include planting more trees, using certain carbon capture and storage technologies. (Jennifer L, carboncredits.com)
