Summary

Notes

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.
🤔
Scale?
  • The urgency is used to prioritized harmful approaches
