📣 Europe should prioritise removals in its international carbon credit procurement

🇪🇺 Just touched down in Brussels where I am joining my wonderful colleagues from the The Global South Carbon Dioxide Removal Coalition (GS CDR) to deliver this simple message to European policy makers.

🤝 Looking forward to two days packed with meetings across the EU Commission, Parliament, and Council to share our perspectives and experiences at this crucial moment in time.

🎯 By the end of the year, the Commission will deliver a proposal on the use of international credits to achieve Europe’s 2040 Climate Target.

🌍 It is crucial we get this one right and do not repeat the mistake of the Clean Development Mechanism from over a decade ago. Done well, this could relieve pressure on European industry, drive progress in the Global South, and support climate action

👋 If this sounds relevant to you, make sure to get in touch with us.

👀  And, while here, we will also be meeting the three final candidates for the role of Executive Director of the Coalition here in Brussels - watch this space!

🚀 Onwards!
