📢📢📢 @YaleCNCC Co-Director Peter Raymond and Research Scientist Maya Almaraz are co-facilitating a free online course this spring (YSE ENV 582b) on "Natural Climate Solutions in Agriculture Landscapes: A Survey of Topics." Schedule below and register here yale.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

However, a turn towards radical transparency will allow academic researchers, and governments to critically evaluate claims to scale for CDR technologies with the goal of spurring an effective transition to large-scale, regulatory carbon removal practices that serve the public good."

In the near term, transformative corporate buyers of CDR and early government procurement programs can make an immediate impact by forcing full data and cost transparency in carbon removal efforts. This will be a major shift from current practice in voluntary carbon removal markets...

The authors "argue that policy frame-works for supporting transparent and accurate evaluation of the dollar-per-ton cost of technically rigorous durable carbon removal must be a key piece of the overall effort to scale carbon removal in an effective and responsible way www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Looking ahead to COP30, there is cautious hope: the Xingu experience shows that solutions already exist on the ground, but global and national frameworks must evolve to recognize, resource, and scale these Indigenous-led strategies." environment.yale.edu/news/article...

Upstream data need to prove soil carbon as a climate solution - Nature Climate Change Causal approaches employed at the scale of commercial agriculture are required to build high-quality evidence that climate-smart agricultural interventions result in real emissions reductions and removals. Such project-scale empirical data are additionally required to demonstrate and advance the viability of process-based models and digital measurement, reporting and verification as tools to scale soil carbon accounting.
