Upcoming Workshop on Carbon Dioxide Removal/Negative Emissions Technologies: Livestreaming
On Monday, October 30, we are convening an invitation-only workshop for non-governmental organizations from the environmental, development, natural resources and human rights communities at George Washington University (in conjunction with the Environmental & Energy Management Institute). The workshop will focus on the potential role of carbon dioxide removal technologies, sometimes characterized as a form of "climate geoengineering," as a climate response measure. Approximately 87% of the integrated assessment models incorporated into the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change contemplate large-scale use of such technologies, especially Bioenergy and Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), to hold temperatures to below 2C. However, many contest the potential effectiveness of such options, as well as express concerns about potential costs and adverse impacts at both the national and transboundary levels. The program for the meeting, which includes a keynote presentation by Dr. James Hansen, can be found here: https://eemi.seas.gwu.edu/carbon-dioxide-removalnegative-emissions. We are also livestreaming most of this event. You can register for the live stream here: https://eemi.seas.gwu.edu/registration-carbon-dioxide-removalnegative-emissions-live-stream. We also contemplate posting the recordings on both GWU's website and ours approximately two weeks after the event. This should be a stimulating day of discussion on these controversial climate response options. We hope that many of you can join us online and participate at future events of this nature that we contemplate holding throughout the country. In that latter context, please contact us if you might be interested in collaborating to hold a similar workshop. The Organizing Committee CDR NETS DC 17 Drs.
