📣 New policy briefing! "Scaling CDR: Opportunities to collaborate across the UK, EU, US and beyond" looks at how cross-jurisdictional collaboration can address the challenges we face in scaling up CO2 removal. Authors: Petra Bistričić, Aoife Brophy, Mark Workman. Read more: co2re.org/publication/...
The Knowledge Sharing Summit brings together leaders across #CDR, and #CCS. On the ground are @energymorgan.bsky.social & @nicofairbairn.bsky.social, joining key conversations on scaling #carbon removal and shaping policy. Thanks to the organisers for convening this important dialogue🌍
🎉 We're delighted that our Exec Director Dr Steve Smith has been chosen as a Lead Author of the IPCC's forthcoming methodology report on CO2 removal & carbon capture, utilisation & storage! co2re.org/co2re-execut... @smithschool.ox.ac.uk @oxfordgeography.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk @stateofcdr.bsky.social
“Los compromisos actuales del #G20 suponen solo un ligero aumento de la #CDR para 2030; y muchos de ellos carecen de la información detallada necesaria para evaluar su credibilidad” - El Estado de la CDR, Informe de Análisis 1

760 million people still live without electricity.
Scaling renewable energy is how that changes, while keeping warming within 1.5°C.
Clean power can light homes, run hospitals, cut emissions and more.
Here’s why renewables matter for people and planet. tinyurl.com/4k9tejuf
Healthy #soils hold more than just nutrients, they also store #carbon. Soil carbon sequestration is a widely researched #CDR approach. Improving land management can help soils remove CO₂ while supporting #agricultural productivity & ecosystem health.

Progress on the State of Carbon Dioxide Removal is powered by collaboration across the #CDR ecosystem.
We recently met in #Oxford to advance our work - sharing insights, refining analysis, and strengthening impact.
Thanks to all involved, 3rd Edition of the #StateOfCDR out this June 🌍
Wondering what really works when it comes to climate solutions? Led by PIK's Jan Minx, "What Works Climate Solutions" will aim to provide decision-makers with information and resources they need on policies that work, and their enabling conditions.

How can policymaking support integrating CO2 removal into our economies as well as significant scale-up? A new paper argues that policy tools should more readily take into account the CDR sector's complexity – & explains how they can do it. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Sometimes #CarbonRemoval can look like a building - the Senedd building in Cardiff Bay. When trees grow they absorb CO₂ & store it in their biomass. If that wood is then used in long-lived products, like buildings, beams or furniture #carbon can remain locked away for decades, even centuries.
G20在二氧化碳移除方面作出了哪些承诺？
尽管其国土面积约占全球60%、GDP占全球85%，但G20承诺到2030年实现的额外二氧化碳移除量仅为每年2.14至2.65亿吨，而目前全球的移除水平约为每年20亿吨。 仅有8个成员国提供了明确数据。 多数国家依赖土地利用措施。 仅英国明确了新型二氧化碳移除措施的相关贡献。

Six years into a massive tree-planting blitz, African communities are seeing real change.
Restoring nearly 950 hectares of land has brought back wildlife, improved rainfall and boosted local incomes.
This is #GenerationRestoration in action: https://ow.ly/Q1Pr50YsMbe
What does #CDR look like on the ground? Sometimes, it looks like this.

In a world where the effects of extreme weather patterns are intensifying, evidenced by rising heat, the Global Cooling Watch report shows how smarter, fairer, sustainable cooling can save lives, reduce emissions, and help billions stay safe from extreme heat.

Today we have published new analysis building on the Committee's advice on the UK’s Seventh Carbon Budget.
Our conclusions about the cost of decarbonising the UK and impacts on energy security were tested against different scenarios ⬇️

Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) is pitched as a major #CDR tool. A new perspective in @nature.com questions how scalable it really is.
#ERW shows promise but its true net CDR potential remains uncertain.

Women and girls are on the frontlines of the climate crisis and uniquely positioned to drive action.
This United Nations explainer breaks down the reasons why women are key to building a sustainable, more resilient planet. www.un.org/en/climatechange/science...
#StateOfCDR experts weigh in on some of the challenges #CDR must overcome, that will shape its future.
Future #EU contribution to #GlobalHeating could be halved without placing extra burden on the economy.
An economic PIK study in the top journal JEEM calculates the effectiveness of “clean-up certificates” (emission right + removal obligation).

🆕 study: Global warming must stay below 2°C and return to 1.5°C as quickly as possible to reduce tipping point risks. In the long term, temperatures must cool to 1°C above pre-industrial levels, researchers from @exeter.ac.uk, @cicero.oslo.no and PIK find.

What does #data say about #CDR start-ups?
#StateOfCDR tracks 509 CDR startups founded between 2006-23 using the #NetZero Insights database. Innovation is growing, but a gap remains deployment & what Paris-aligned pathways imply. Explore the data behind these figures: portal.stateofcdr.org/chapter/3
Peatlands, which cover just 3% of Earth's surface, store 550 billion tonnes of carbon or twice as much as all forests combined.
However, some 15% of them have been drained for agriculture.
Protecting these carbon sinks is vital #ForPeopleForPlanet.

🆕 Several Earth system components may be closer to destabilisation than previously thought. Crossing key temperature thresholds could trigger feedback loops, pushing the planet toward a “Hothouse Earth” trajectory. Study by @oregonstate.edu, @iiasa.ac.at & PIK: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Field trials of #CDR are technical experiments and also sites where governance and responsibility are being tested. This paper examines how responsible #research & #innovation is being applied across UK field trials of land-based CDR. @co2rehub.bsky.social

Peatlands are critical to combating the climate crisis, preserving biodiversity, and more.
Yet, they are under increased threat.

Halting the loss of more than 7 million hectares of tropical forests, tackling climate change, and feeding 9 billion people by 2050 will not happen without smart financing.
Here’s why financing sustainable land use matters, and how it can unlock real change: https://ow.ly/uk9n50Y9kxQ
Climate change is making floods, heatwaves, and storms more dangerous.
Early warning systems help predict these risks and alert people in time to act, saving lives, homes, and livelihoods.
