Abstract:
To reach the climate goals set forth in the Paris Agreement both decarbonization and atmospheric removal of carbon dioxide are required. The US Department of Energy is investing billions of dollars to advance direct air capture of CO2, the White House National Science and Technology Council is developing a Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal Fast-Track Action Committee, and the Department of Energy and NOAA are collaborating on marine carbon dioxide removal research and development. Given our shared ocean borders, this panel will be asking how best to collaborate and align each of our countries’ efforts, on policy development, initiatives that inform best practices, and scientific needs that advance policy. By working together, the Paris Agreement climate goals can be accelerated.
