Hi team -- we've got an exciting webinar coming up that you won’t want to miss!

The world is navigating the necessary transition away from polluting fuels toward clean energy, but many scientists believe we must also work to remove climate pollution that has already been dumped into the atmosphere. That's known as carbon dioxide removal (CDR). The call for CDR is only growing stronger as new analyses find that we’re not on track to meet the Paris Agreement targets.
We're teaming up with The Climate Center and Project 2030 for a carbon dioxide removal webinar series to explore the science, strategies, and policies of CDR. The first webinar is happening on September 20 at 10am PT -- RSVP now to join us on Zoom! [[link removed]]

WHAT: The Science of Carbon Dioxide Removal Webinar
WHEN: Friday, September 20, 10am PT
WHERE: On Zoom!

RSVP NOW [[link removed]]

In this first webinar of a six-part series, we will explore the science behind CDR, how it differs from carbon capture and storage, what role it plays in broader climate efforts, and why it must be coupled with direct emission reductions.

We'll foster co-learning between subject matter experts and stakeholders so that we can build the knowledge about CDR in California. Featured speakers include:

Dr. Marcius Extavour is a widely published scientist, creative technologist, innovation practitioner, and communicator. He serves as a Board Member in the U.S. National Academies of Sciences and 1% for the Planet, and he is currently a Senior Partner at Ode, where he builds sustainable solutions, products, and algorithms.

Dr. Kimberley Mayfield is a member of Lawrence Livermore National Lab's Energy Group and principal investigator for Lawrence Livermore's Energy Flow Charts. Kim works with the Carbon Initiative, which aims to understand, develop, and implement technologies for the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Katie Lebling is a Research Associate in World Resource Institute's U.S. Climate Program where she leads research and analysis to inform responsible scaling of carbon dioxide removal approaches. She works at the state, federal, and international level to advance policy recommendations that can enable sustainable and equitable scaling.

Several CDR projects are already underway in California. Now, we need to ensure that we don’t repeat the harmful industrial mistakes of the past when developing these new projects. Local communities, especially economically disadvantaged communities and communities of color, must be involved early on to make sure these projects not only do no harm, but also provide meaningful benefits.
