Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) is pitched as a major #CDR tool. A new perspective in @nature.com questions how scalable it really is. #ERW shows promise but its true net CDR potential remains uncertain. Read here: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Women and girls are on the frontlines of the climate crisis and uniquely positioned to drive action. This United Nations explainer breaks down the reasons why women are key to building a sustainable, more resilient planet. https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/science/climate-issues/women

#StateOfCDR experts weigh in on some of the challenges #CDR must overcome, that will shape its future.

Future #EU contribution to #GlobalHeating could be halved without placing extra burden on the economy. An economic PIK study in the top journal JEEM calculates the effectiveness of “clean-up certificates” (emission right + removal obligation). #Climate #Edenhofer www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

🆕 study: Global warming must stay below 2°C and return to 1.5°C as quickly as possible to reduce tipping point risks. In the long term, temperatures must cool to 1°C above pre-industrial levels, researchers from @exeter.ac.uk, @cicero.oslo.no and PIK find. www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

What does #data say about #CDR start-ups? #StateOfCDR tracks 509 CDR startups founded between 2006-23 using the #NetZero Insights database. Innovation is growing, but a gap remains deployment & what Paris-aligned pathways imply. Explore the data behind these figures: portal.stateofcdr.org/chapter/3

Peatlands, which cover just 3% of Earth's surface, store 550 billion tonnes of carbon or twice as much as all forests combined. However, some 15% of them have been drained for agriculture. Protecting these carbon sinks is vital #ForPeopleForPlanet.

Our first Insight Report, Carbon Dioxide Removal in G20 Pledges: Limited and Lacking in Credibility, is now available in 6 UN languages🌍 Read in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian & Spanish alongside English: tinyurl.com/3kn6seff

🆕 Several Earth system components may be closer to destabilisation than previously thought. Crossing key temperature thresholds could trigger feedback loops, pushing the planet toward a “Hothouse Earth” trajectory. Study by @oregonstate.edu, @iiasa.ac.at & PIK: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Field trials of #CDR are technical experiments and also sites where governance and responsibility are being tested. This paper examines how responsible #research & #innovation is being applied across UK field trials of land-based CDR. @co2rehub.bsky.social tinyurl.com/ydz2rhz9

Peatlands are critical to combating the climate crisis, preserving biodiversity, and more. Yet, they are under increased threat. The Global Peatlands Map 2.0 provides key data on the status of peatlands: https://ow.ly/HNyV50Y9QzN

Halting the loss of more than 7 million hectares of tropical forests, tackling climate change, and feeding 9 billion people by 2050 will not happen without smart financing. Here’s why financing sustainable land use matters, and how it can unlock real change: https://ow.ly/uk9n50Y9kxQ

Climate change is making floods, heatwaves, and storms more dangerous. Early warning systems help predict these risks and alert people in time to act, saving lives, homes, and livelihoods. Explore more about this cost-effective disaster risk reduction approach: https://ow.ly/bVt350Y9kEH

How can #Korea achieve the upper range of its 2035 #NDC? Research by @ctrglobsust.bsky.social and KAIST details how reducing GHG emissions by 60% by 2035 will require coordinated action across all levels of government, among other stakeholders: go.umd.edu/RepublicofKorea2035Ambition

Over 100 million lakes dot the planet, holding most of the world’s surface freshwater. But many are drying, flooding, turning green or vanishing. What’s happening to one of Earth’s most vital ecosystems? Explore what can still be done: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

#CDR has a range of distinct methods. #StateOfCDR Ed2, Fig 1.4 shows how CDR approaches differ in capture, readiness, mitigation, storage pool & timescales. Some more mature today storing #carbon over short periods while others are early-stage having long storage timescales. tinyurl.com/SoCDR

Once a distant climate risk, the destabilisation of the Atlantic Ocean circulation (#AMOC) is becoming a real security concern. PIK director Johan Rockström and Iceland’s Climate Minister Jóhann Páll Jóhannsson outline what can be done about it. 👇 www.linkedin.com/pulse/climat...

🔈 Let’s debunk common climate myths! Myth #1 : “A couple of degrees of warming is not that big of a deal.” Fact: Actually, small temperature rises can throw the world’s delicate ecosystems into disarray, with dire implications for humans and other living things. More: www.unep.org/topics/clima...

Many #peatlands and coastal #wetlands are degraded, making them a source of #greenhouse #gas emissions. Restoring them can reduce emissions & turn them into #carbon removers. These vital carbon stores depend on long-term protection & management.

Do all #CarbonDioxideRemoval methods store #carbon for the same length of time? Kirsty Harrington explains...

Transparency in #climate targets matter not only for tracking progress, but for understanding real-world implications of different pathways for people, ecosystems and decision-making. @uwmadison.bsky.social @smithschool.ox.ac.uk @pik-potsdam.bsky.social @swp-berlin.org @ctrglobsust.bsky.social

How is innovation in #CDR evolving & where is it concentrated? Fig 2.4 from the State of CDR Edition-2, shows 3 signals of innovation on how CDR methods & geographies diversify. It shows growth momentum but also uneven patterns, suggesting innovation capacity & attention are not distributed evenly.

2️⃣ : The 4th International Conference on #CDR (formerly International Conference on Negative Emissions) will be hosted by CMCC in Milan 🇮🇹 . negativeco2emissions2026.com/call-for-abs... ❗ Deadline: 30 January 2026

1️⃣ : Do you have research on the potentials, limits, or risks of using CDR in climate mitigation strategies? Then submit your work to our upcoming #EGU session. www.egu26.eu/session/56943 ❗ Deadline: 15 January 2026, 13:00 CET. Convening w/ @nadinemengis.bsky.social @felixschenuit.bsky.social

📣 Calling #CDR and scientists! Two great opportunities coming up to present your research in the thread below 👇

“Current G20 pledges imply only a modest increase in #CDR by 2030 and many lack detail to assess credibility.” The State of CDR, Insight Report 1. Post-COP30 analysis shows CDR is mentioned often, but most G20 pledges are unclear on scale, role, and delivery. www.stateofcdr.org/insight-repo...

Can #CarbonMarkets scale durable #CDR? A new @springernature.com paper finds CDR remains marginal in carbon pricing. Durable removals face price mismatches, compete with cheaper credits, and need stronger policy, ETS, and hybrid support to scale. Paper: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Dr. Franklyn Kanyako explains why Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) stands out. @uwlafollette.bsky.social #CDR

Why do land-use CO₂ flux (FLUC) estimates disagree? A @nature.com paper compares 5 methods & shows how differing definitions, boundaries & uncertainties shape results. More consistent FLUC concepts can improve how we assess climate targets and land-based #CDR. Read more here: tinyurl.com/5daf3r73

Can carbon removal replace emissions reduction? The evidence says no. @joannaportugal.bsky.social explains this common misconception and why #CDR is needed to balance the emissions we cannot fully eliminate.

Why should #Biochar be on your radar? Candelaria Bergero, Postdoctoral Fellow at @uwlafollette.bsky.social, explains.

New report from Oxford Institute for Energy Studies has a section co-authored by Steve Smith and Kirsty Haddington: https://www.oxfordenergy.org/publications/orchestrating-carbon-removal-how-science-policy-and-industry-strike-the-right-note/ @stateofcdr.bsky.social

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. Listen to the full interview: tinyurl.com/6c5etd99

We are excited to join the @unep.org event at #CDR30 pavilion at @cop30brazil.bsky.social Nico Fairbairn, our Head of Partnerships, will also share insights from our first #StateOfCDR Insight Report- lnkd.in/eZ2vtxtt Join us on-ground at #COP30 or tune in online: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdsA...

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.  

The #StateOfCDR is at #COP30, Brazil! Join us at the #CDR30 Pavilion in Belém as our Head of Partnerships, Nico Fairbairn, shares insights on the CDR sector, governance, and our new Insight Report. Come find us! 🌍

Dr William F. Lamb at @pik-potsdam.bsky.social highlights the limited progress on #CDR in G20 pledges. He notes that while emission cuts are a priority, most countries lack clear, credible plans to scale CDR in line with climate goals. Read more in our new Insight Report: tinyurl.com/3kn6seff

Ahead of #COP30, @stateofcdr.bsky.social released a new report, co-authored by CGS Associate Research Prof. @gidden.bsky.social, that assesses #G20 countries' progress in scaling carbon dioxide removal & whether it's enough to stay aligned with the #ParisAgreement: www.stateofcdr.org/insight-repo...

Carbon removal features in many G20 net-zero plans - yet commitments remain vague. Oliver Geden and others explain: without clear CDR targets and verification, credibility gaps widen. @stateofcdr.bsky.social 📘 State of CDR Insight Report (2025)

How are the world’s largest economies preparing to scale carbon removal and is it enough? Ahead of #COP30, we release our first Insight Report, that examines how G20 pledges address #CDR alongside emission cuts and what this means for long-term Paris alignment. Full report: tinyurl.com/3kn6seff

Ahead of #COP30, Dr William Lamb, Sr. Researcher @pik-potsdam.bsky.social points to a growing gap in #CDR policy targets & real-world emissions reductions. The #StateOfCDR's upcoming Insight Report reveals how new national commitments fall short. Insight Report coming soon!

Did you know? Peatland restoration isn’t just rewetting, it’s about precision, ecosystems & MRV. Data from #StateOfCDR Edition 2 shows it has the highest number of MRV protocols covering both removals and emissions reduction. Read more: www.stateofcdr.org/edition-2-re...

A new @nature.com study explores UK public views on biochar, peatland restoration & biomass crops, revealing that while people support #CDR, most hadn’t heard of biochar, and many question its worth amid concerns over land use, durability, limited budgets, & fairness. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

The #StateOfCDR team met at @uwmadison.bsky.social to advance our 3rd Edition and first Insight Report ahead of #COP30. Grateful to our global #CDR community and to @uwlafollette.bsky.social for hosting and sparking rich discussions on #ClimateAction🌎
