Subject: RSVP: Third webinar of our Carbon Dioxide Removal series

Hi team,

We're nearing the next webinar on carbon dioxide removal, and this upcoming conversation is one I’m especially excited about.

What exactly is carbon dioxide removal (CDR)? It's work being done to remove climate pollution that has already been emitted into the atmosphere.

In the third webinar of our six-part series with The Climate Center and Project 2030, experts with experience on the ground in communities will discuss the health and safety concerns raised around carbon dioxide removal.

You're invited to join us on November 15 for a deep dive into Carbon Dioxide Removal and Communities. RSVP now to save your spot.

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 exploring the key conversations happening about how to tackle this issue and the different viewpoints about the various methods of removing carbon from the atmosphere.

The panelists will cover the landscape of national and California-specific issues, impacts to air quality, and risks associated with transportation and storage. The upcoming webinar will explore: 

• An overview of health and safety concerns with transportation and storage
• Lessons learned from other states to consider in California’s planning
• How we can prevent repeating harms caused by earlier industrial development

Our six-part webinar series explores the science, strategies, and policies of CDR. We will facilitate co-learning between stakeholders, address knowledge gaps, and emphasize the importance of engaging, protecting, and benefiting local communities with any proposed CDR project. Here's what else is on deck in the coming months: 

• Carbon Dioxide Removal and Communities (Part 2): Community Benefits, Governance Models, Oversight and Co-Ownership
• Responsible Accounting/Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification
• CDR Policy Levers
