[COP29] Unlocking Net Zero: The Role of Carbon Dioxide Removals
We are pleased to invite you to join us at COP29 at the panel session co-hosted by NextGen CDR and 1PointFive titled “Unlocking Net-Zero: The Role of Carbon Dioxide Removals.”
Thousands of companies globally have committed to reach Net Zero by 2050, but many are struggling to find viable pathways to achieve those goals. With climate ambitions increasingly being challenged by negative media coverage and operational constraints, the need for carbon removal as an addition to decarbonization efforts can be overlooked.
This focused session will bring together senior business leaders, policy experts, and the carbon removal ecosystem to explore the essential role of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) in corporate net-zero strategies. Themes that will be discussed include:
Strategies for implementing CDR within net-zero pathways, learning from companies leading the way
Insights on ESG regulation impacting private organizations by 2030 and how to prepare now
The evolving dynamics of the CDR market, exploring ways to increase trustworthiness and public perceptionStrategies for implementing CDR within net-zero pathways, especially for organizations new to carbon markets
Insights on ESG regulation impacting private organizations by 2030
The evolving dynamics of the CDR market, including durability, transparency, and quality considerations
