What is the current state of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) governance, and how can international cooperation strengthen it as CDR deployment scales?
As governments, institutions, and industries expand their focus on CDR, important questions remain about whether existing governance frameworks are fit for purpose, where the key gaps lie, and what new mechanisms may be needed.
This discussion paper explores lessons from the broader climate governance landscape, assesses the strengths and limitations of current institutions and regimes, and outlines near- and longer-term priorities for building comprehensive governance across the CDR ecosystem.
The paper is intended to seed discussion, invite feedback, refine ideas, and help chart a path toward more effective international governance of carbon dioxide removal.
