The GEO-7 report brings together evidence by 287 scientists across 82 countries.

“The transformation pathways demonstrate that alternative outcomes are achievable: reduced climate risk exposure, halted biodiversity loss by 2030, nearly 200 million people lifted out of undernourishment, and nine million premature deaths avoided by 2050.”
- Dr @dralaaclimate.bsky.social
But these outcomes are not inevitable, says @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social’s Dr @dralaaclimate.bsky.social, a Lead Author of the report.
He says that simultaneous, integrated action across finance, energy, food, materials, and environmental systems is needed, rather than piecemeal interventions.
Published today by @unep.org, #GEO7 shows that on current trajectories, global temperature rise will exceed 1.5°C in the early 2030s, material resource extraction will increase by 70% by 2050, and land degradation will continue at rates equivalent to losing an area the size of Ethiopia annually.

🔎CO2RE Hub’s evaluation framework, which allows assessment of GGR methods holistically on a coherent and consistent basis and can be used by a range of actors to support decision-making on sustainable scale-up.
Key insights in the report cover:
🖥️The potential of technologies to deliver genuine greenhouse gas removals.
⚖️A suite of policy, legal and evaluation insights and methodologies that can help build up the UK’s GGR ability to scale the most promising technologies
Over the past four years, the Greenhouse Gas Removal Demonstrators (GGR-D) Programme has provided vital new evidence and analysis to inform decisions about greenhouse gas removal (GGR) deployment in the UK and globally 🧵
