Samaniego, Schmidt, Carlino et al. (2021): Current understanding of the potential impact of Carbon Dioxide Removal approaches on the Sustainable Development Goals in selected countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Summary for policy makers. Carnegie Climate Governance Initative (C2G)/ Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), March 2021.
“Key findings include:
- Climate change mitigation in Latin America and the Caribbean region efforts are focused on emissions reductions, while consideration of CDR is only just beginning.
- Deployment of large-scale CDR approaches would have regional physical and socio-economic implications, including for efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are insufficiently explored and understood.
- Decisions on the potential development of CDR requires more information about costs, but also about the possible impact on employment and Gross Domestic Product, potential for emissions reduction, as well as consideration of implementation risks, in order to avoid misallocation of resources.”
