The Essential Role of Negative Emissions Technologies in Getting to Net-Zero

Net-zero targets cannot be met without scaled contributions from negative emissions technologies (NETs) – including capturing carbon dioxide from the ambient air, known as direct air capture (DAC). The IPCC, IEA and corporate-led initiatives, like the Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets (TSVCM), all emphasize the increasing importance of carbon dioxide removals (CDRs) – in addition to carbon reductions and avoidance, including through nature-based climate solutions – as essential to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and addressing climate change. This workshop will bring together NETs owners and operators, corporate buyers, and legal and policy experts, who are focused on accelerating pathways to net-zero and enhancing climate ambition under the Paris Agreement.
