What: Webinar on the potential role of carbon removal in the IPCC’s 1.5 Degrees Special Report
When: Monday October 15, noon – 1pm Eastern Time
Where: Click here by COB Friday October 12 to register for the webinar
The IPCC’s Special Report on 1.5 Degrees was released on October 8. One of the report’s central messages is that removing and storing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere must now be considered a critical component of humanity’s response to climate change if warming is to be limited to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius.
What does the IPCC’s new report have to say about carbon removal? Where does carbon removal fit into the full array of climate change response options? What does the report say about the risks of carbon removal and about how best to govern carbon removal technologies and practices?
Join American University’s new Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy and RESOLVE for a webinar to examine these critical questions.
Speakers:
Wil Burns, Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy
Katherine Mach, Stanford University
David Morrow, Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy
Cynthia Scharf, Carnegie Council Geoengineering Governance Initiative (C2G2) (invited)
