Policy Watch: ‘We’re building the plane as we are flying it’ with carbon removals

by Angeli Mehta, reuters.com, October 2

„Summary:

  • Achieving 2050 net zero targets will be ‚very difficult‘ without removing gigatons of CO2
  • But removals mustn’t distract from efforts to cut emissions, with the WRI proposing separate targets
  • Developing monitoring, reporting and verification frameworks is critical to command confidence
  • The European Union has proposed a voluntary Carbon Removal Certification Framework
  • UK intends to integrate removals into its emissions trading system“
