Netherlands report maps ecological and social aspects of CDR
A new study commissioned by the Climate Research Initiative Netherlands (KIN) and led by the University of Twente explores the ecological and social implications of large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR). As national and international commitments to achieve climate goals grow, understanding how to implement these strategies responsibly becomes essential. The research outlines the critical preconditions and potential impacts that must be considered to ensure that carbon removal efforts do not inadvertently harm local ecosystems or communities. It bridges the gap between ambitious climate targets and practical, ethical implementation.
