All the emission pathways in the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C will require the removal of large volumes of CO2 from the atmosphere using Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) to achieve net-zero emissions.
A high-level virtual dialogue on Carbon Dioxide Removal will feature the Executive Secretaries of all five UN Regional Commissions to discuss how UN Regional Commissions can address knowledge and governance gaps in CDR to support the implementation of the SDGs.
