OpenAir CDR Webinar Series explores the science, strategies, and policies of carbon dioxide removal

Event: Carbon Dioxide Removal Webinar Series

Date: Webinars in this series will run monthly through March of 2025. Stay tuned for more details on the last two webinars.

Location: Remote

Host organization: OpenAir Carbon Dioxide Removal

Seminar description: As the world navigates the necessary transition away from polluting fuels toward clean energy, most climate scientists acknowledge that we must also remove climate pollution that has already been dumped into the atmosphere.

The call for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) grows stronger as new analyses find that the global community is not on track to meet the Paris Agreement targets for limiting carbon pollution in the atmosphere and keeping global average temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius. CDR is integrated into California’s plan to meet its 2030 and 2045 climate goals — the 2022 Scoping Plan from the Air Resources Board has a target of 7 million metric tons of CDR by 2030, and 75 million metric tons of CDR by 2045.

This six-part webinar series will facilitate co-learning between stakeholders, address knowledge gaps, and emphasize the importance of engaging, protecting, and benefiting local communities with any proposed CDR project.

This monthly webinar series is co-hosted by California Environmental Voters, The Climate Center, and Project 2030.
