Fit for purpose? Assessing the potential of current governance approaches to Carbon Dioxide Removal in China, the United States and the European Union

Summary:

The author conducts a cross-country comparison of the role of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) in the achievement of climate mitigation ambitions in China, the United States (US), and the European Union (EU). These jurisdictions have been selected for their prominent role in international climate policy, the availability of information, and their high share of current and historical global emissions.

Governance structures, path dependencies, existing CDR targets, policies or announcements are compared based on desk research to provide a snapshot of the different levels of CDR integration across all three jurisdictions.
