Considering Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal for Addressing Climate Change

Considering Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal for Addressing Climate Change: Risks, Benefits, and Governance

As the world faces escalating impacts of climate change, innovative solutions are urgently needed to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) represents a potentially powerful tool to help mitigate this crisis by harnessing the ocean’s natural ability to absorb and store carbon. Expert Wil Burns, Co-Director for the Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal at American University, will be joined by Duke faculty, researchers, and students in a panel discussion to explore the science, policy, and implications surrounding mCDR approaches, examining whether they can be developed safely, viably, and at scales that matter for climate mitigation. Duke is a partner of Oceans Visions in advancing collaborative research to better understand the full potential and risks of mCDR technologies.

Co-Sponsored by Oceans@Duke and the Duke Center on Risk.
