A novel co-creation initiative involving a broad spectrum of stakeholders led to the development of a joint blueprint for carbon removals policies in the European Union.
EU’s underwhelming 2040 climate target shifts responsibility to future generations
the European Commission has received an open letter signed by 96 academics, businesses, civil society organisations and research institutions urging the EU to separate emissions reductions, land-based sequestration and permanent carbon removals in the EU’s post-2030 climate framework.
Carbon Market Watch colleagues met on 11 December to brainstorm a name and a logo to accentuate our Milkywire Climate Transformation Fund supported carbon dioxide removals (CDR) campaign.
Le présent rapport examine un éventail d’approches, qu’elles soient réglementaires — incluant des systèmes d’échange de quotas d’émission, des incitations fiscales et des subventions publiques directes — ou volontaires. En s’appuyant sur leurs limites, ainsi que sur des concepts prometteurs et des leçons tirées des cadres étudiés, il esquisse les grandes lignes d’une politique de CDR raisonnable.
This paper reviews a variety of regulatory approaches to carbon dioxide removals (including emissions trading systems, tax incentives and public direct subsidies) and voluntary approaches, and, building upon failures, promising concepts and lessons learned from the reviewed frameworks, sketches a blueprint for sensible CDR policy design.
Carbon Market Watch calls on organisations, businesses and academics to join its open call for the EU to explicitly separate its targets and policies for emissions reductions, carbon sequestration in the land sector and permanent removals in its post-2030 climate framework.
The European Union is starting the long process towards establishing the bloc’s post-2030 climate policy framework and Carbon Market Watch wants to make sure that slashing emissions is the absolute priority.
A recent report by Carbon Market Watch of 20 global, EU, national and sub-national climate policy frameworks shows that not one governs carbon removals in an environmentally sound way.
