In an interview about #COP30, Nico Fairbairn and @gregnemet.net discuss how #CDR fits into #climate planning. They highlight that rapid #emissions cuts remain central with CDR addressing residuals and point to transparency gaps in #G20 CDR plans.

Ahead of COP30, an Insight Report by @stateofcdr.bsky.social finds the G20 pledges falling short in their ambition and credibility to scale up carbon dioxide removal (CDR) alongside plans for emission cuts.
Insight Report 1 — The State of Carbon Dioxide Removal
This Insight Report is the first in a new series of shorter analyses offering timely updates on developments in carbon removal as part of the broader State of CDR initiative.

Chapter 1 of the State of CDR (Edition 2) breaks it down:
1️⃣ Emissions cuts aren’t enough—we need CDR too
2️⃣ Only human interventions that lead to durable storage of CO₂ from the air count
3️⃣ Methods range from forests to tech
