Addressing the big issues
- June 17, 2023
The Article 6.4 Supervisory Body asked for more detail on how carbon removal fits into the bigger picture and how different technologies approach monitoring, reporting and verification.
In June, TED Countdown hosted a Dilemma Session in New York focusing on the role of carbon credits in climate action. Gabrielle Walker and Delia Meth-Cohn of Rethinking Removals joined forces with Julio Friedmann (Carbon Direct) and Eli Mitchell-Larson (Carbon Gap) to design and present a workshop on carbon removals. We were aiming to focus on understanding quality criteria such as additionality and durability - but we started by looking at why we see carbon removals as a source of hope for climate action, not as climate denial or and moral hazard.
Here, Delia takes us through the stages of that event.
We have convened many conversations across the removals ecosystem to work out what is needed to accelerate the scale-up of high-quality removals.
We have now translated these into a set of focused but coordinated initiatives, focusing on the market, policies, voluntary rules and finance.
