About Global CDR Action Network (CDRANet)

ABOUT CDRANet What will the future of carbon dioxide removal policy look like? What should it look like? Who gets to decide this? Will we be able to do enough, soon enough, to stop climate change? Or will public concerns force policymakers to shut down CDR activity altogether? GOALS International climate experts have advised for decades that unless we start removing gigatons of carbon dioxide annually from the earth’s atmosphere by around 2050, our planet’s temperature won’t be able to stabilize. We have the technology to accomplish this, and a robust network already exists of governments, businesses, and investors who see a viable future for CDR. The challenge we currently face is that we lack the international technical coordination, political will, and policy clarity to move forward on this vital undertaking with speed, scale, and sustainability. The goal of CDRANet is to bridge this gap, designing a realistic and inclusive policy framework and connected action apparatus for CDR that cities, states, countries and industries everywhere can begin adopting and adapting by early 2026. This work is being conducted mostly online, beginning in the Fall of 2024 with a goal of completing by Winter 2025. At the conclusion of this group's efforts, we will plan an in-person conference where the group can come together to announce these recommendations to the world. Nothing like this has been attempted before, and many in the climate policy community have high hopes that what is developed in this forum can break new ground and lead to policy and practices that will help save our planet. Importantly, this is work that will move quickly and with all key stakeholders involved. This is an urgent, multifaced problem being addressed through a rapid but thoughtful multistakeholder effort with the goal of creating realistic and workable plans and networks that can quickly begin to address our urgent global climate crisis.
