Abstract

• Since negative emissions are included in the Paris agreement: CDR has been in the spotlight
• BECCS - Bio Energy CCS is still in its infancy. but large scale monoculture for sequestration or bioenergy is already supported by climate fianance
• Climate finance is geared towards mono culture tree plantation
• biodiversity
• land degradation
• social impacts (elite resource capture), land grabbing
• gender-specific impacts
• There are ways to sequester carbon with positive impacts: permaculture etc.
