Carbon Dioxide Removal
CDR removes CO2 directly from the atmosphere and stores it durably, creating net negative emissions. It complements emissions reductions by helping to balance remaining emissions and support long-term climate goals. CDR includes both nature-based and engineered approaches, such as afforestation, soil carbon sequestration, biochar, enhanced weathering and direct air capture. Research is needed to advance these approaches towards credible and scalable climate solutions, with robust methods to measure and document their climate impact and long-term carbon storage.
