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.

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

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.

🌍 CDR is in every climate plan, but do we really understand it?
Chapter 1 of the State of CDR (Edition 2) breaks it down:
1️⃣ Emissions cuts aren’t enough—we need CDR too
2️⃣ Only human interventions that lead to durable storage of CO₂ from the air count
3️⃣ Methods range from forests to tech

In 2020–21 the world removed about 2.1 GtCO₂, mostly from conventional methods. To stay on track for 1.5°C, up to 9.8 GtCO₂/year by 2050 is needed. This chart from The State of CDR Edition 2 shows the gap between what’s proposed and what’s needed.
