High-Level Political Forum| Side Event 13 July |Carbon Dioxide Removal and the Sustainable Development Goals in the African and the Latin American and Caribbean regions
Anita Nzeh
Climate change impacts and responses are closely linked to sustainable development and in addition to a primary focus on emissions reductions and adaptation, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approaches -- both nature-based and through technological innovation -- can be used to remove residual carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Currently, CDR techniques differ widely in terms of maturity, potential, costs, risks, benefits, and governance requirements. Knowing their viability and sustainability to advance towards the achievement of the climate goals of the Paris Agreement could be the starting point for their application at different scales. In this context, countries are considering the best options that can help them reduce their carbon emissions, achieve net zero while also accelerating the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Based on the findings of a recent study commissioned by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), and the Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G), this side event will give an overview of these approaches and will analyse some of their known potential benefits and risks in the context of the SDGs to allow decision-makers to identify knowledge gaps that need to be filled so they can consider the most suitable techniques to be incorporated in the new generation of Nationally Determined Contributions and Long Term Strategies.
