About this episode
The episode explores the complexities of carbon removal policy, its historical context, and its interconnectedness with various sectors.
Welcome to the first in a Carbon Removal Show three-part policy miniseries ! We’re diving into the bureaucratic spaghetti of CDR policy - what it is, why we need it, and why pretending it doesn’t exist is no longer an option. It’ll be fun – we promise.
