About this Session
Organized by Working Group on Carbon Removal
This group discussion explores the nuanced interplay between pragmatism and ideal techno-economic scenarios, moving beyond theoretical modelling to consider societal acceptability. By analysing real-world implementation and pilot projects, the discussion examines carbon removal strategies in the broader context of the climate change agenda within the Sustainable Development Goals and climate targets. By addressing practical challenges and exploring strategies to increase societal uptake, participants will gain valuable insights to chart sustainable pathways towards a more inclusive and resilient future. To stimulate interesting debates, the sessions will be structured around input presentations from early career researchers and commentaries from different perspectives.
