“Countries have pledged around 2.7bn tonnes of carbon removal by 2035 and about 3.6bn by 2050, but climate pathways require much more,” said PIK's William Lamb, co-author of the #StateofCDR report. “This leaves a gap that grows significantly over time.” https://t.co/gbelISmWRe
"Imagine your home filling up with every piece of waste you've ever produced. That's what we're doing to Earth's atmosphere with CO₂", states PIK Director #Edenhofer. New PIK video on Planetary Waste Management & how to clean up the atmosphere 👉
