🧐 Will COP30 actually deliver on carbon removals?

🤷 Yesterday, I asked you whether we should have a COP at all. Is all this massive effort - and the associated emissions - even worth it? The community seems split, which isn’t surprising.

🎯 I personally believe that COPs have an important role to play, and that it will take years of hard work to position CDR where it needs to be: as a horizontal, essential building block across climate targets and initiatives at large.

🤩 So did we make any progress on this front during COP30? No better person to ask than Christopher Neidl - Carbon Removal Lead with the UN Climate High-Level Champions - who has been working the corridors in Belém to advocate for CDR.

🗓️ Eve Tamme and I are looking forward to having Chris back on the CDR Policy Scoop on Monday the 24th of November at 9 am PST 🇺🇸 / 12 pm EST 🇺🇸 / 6 pm CET 🇪🇺 for an in-depth retrospective.

🙋 What is your take? If you are/were on the ground: do you feel we moved the needle this year? What examples do you have for this? Or are we stuck exactly where we were before COP?
