Carbon removal: the key to getting the 2040 climate target right
by Verena Hofbauer & Agnese Ruggiero, carbongap.org, 29 June
„Key takeaways: The 2040 climate target is the key milestone on the path towards climate neutrality. In this context, carbon removal (CDR) is starting to be recognised as crucial to achieving this target by 2050 but more still needs to be done. The EU should aim to achieve 95% net emission reductions by 2040 through a robust and sound combination of emission reductions and carbon removals. To this end, financial and political support must be given to a wide range of CDR options, and carbon removal should be mainstreamed across all relevant EU policies.“
