Carbon dioxide removals (CDR) are expected to play a key role in the next two decades. In 2024 the EU adopted a Certification framework, and at COP29 methodological standards for removals were adopted under the PACM. Both nature-based and engineered solutions, however, face challenges on global markets, and policies.
What is the potential for integration of CDR in emissions trading systems (ETS), and climate plans (NDC) under the Paris Agreement? Is it possible to assess the impact of the new UN standards on the sector? Which governance gaps still need to be addressed to allow countries to cooperate on the matter?
