IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal

The IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) assesses methods to reduce atmospheric CO₂ and combat climate change. CDR involves technologies and natural processes—like planting forests, enhancing soil carbon storage, or capturing CO₂ from industrial sources—that actively remove greenhouse gases from the air. The report highlights that while CDR can help achieve climate goals, it cannot replace urgent emission reductions. Effective deployment of CDR requires careful planning, monitoring, and managing potential risks to ensure it complements overall efforts to limit global warming.
