This webinar aims to provide audiences with expert overviews of how the Working Group II contribution to the Sixth Assessment report addresses CDR and SRM? Speakers’ presentations will be pre-recorded and played to the webinar audience, with the speakers joining for the live Q&A session enabling the audience to ask clarifying questions. C2G will also be live streaming the event on its YouTube channel, access the livestream using this link https://youtu.be/bvs4i5YrRhU

„To limit warming to manageable levels, the world has only a few years to stop using fossil fuels completely.“

This event is a chance to hear the key CDR messages from the IPCC report directly from the authors themselves, and ask them questions. Organised by the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford and CO2RE, the Greenhouse Gas Removal Hub.

„Radical emissions cuts combined with some atmospheric carbon removal are the only hope to limit global warming to 1.5 °C, scientists warn.“ Some key points of the recent IPCC reports are mentioned and statements of e.g. Inger Andersen, executive director of the UN Environment Programme, as well as of Oliver Geden, a social scientist with the German Institute for International and Security Affairs in Berlin, a lead author on the report, are given.
The IPCC published the third part of the Sixth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change, the Working Group III contribution. It was finalized on 4 April during the 14th Session of Working Group III and 56th Session of the IPCC. The Working Group III report provides an updated global assessment of climate change mitigation progress and pledges, and examines the sources of global emissions. It explains developments in emission reduction and mitigation efforts, assessing the impact of national climate pledges in relation to long-term emissions goals.

In this webinar, hosted by the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy, a panel of experts will provide an overview of how carbon removal is present in this report, scaling up carbon removal, and media coverage of carbon removal within this report.

„UN scientists are likely to weigh up technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, as they gather to finalise a key report. This idea will be one of many solutions considered over the next two weeks by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).“
by the Germany-based Heinrich Böll Stiftung (HBF) and the U.S. Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL)
The joint HBF-CIEL briefing summarizes the IPCC’s latest findings on the risks of temperature overshoot and of strategies premised on the possibility of returning from such overshoot through the use of solar radiation modification (SRM) or technological carbon dioxide removal (CDR).

Released today, the Working Group II contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report assesses the impacts of climate change, looking at ecosystems, biodiversity, and human communities at global and regional levels. It also reviews vulnerabilities and the capacities and limits of the natural world and human societies to adapt to climate change.
