Why do ambitious climate targets face an implementation gap? Our piece in NatureClimateChange looks at the emerging #Decarbonization state -how the shift from fossil fuels to low-carbon systems clashes with the state’s core functions: growth, legitimacy, and security. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Structural limitations of the decarbonization state - Nature Climate Change

The implementation gap between national climate targets and actual policies has been seen as a main barrier for decarbonization. Here researchers show it is rooted in the structural limitation of stat...

Current #climate goals require the removal of carbon dioxide from the #atmosphere. 🌍 📗 🌡 Researchers took a close look at the emission reduction plans of several major EU industry sectors and found a substantial but underspecified reliance on uncertain carbon removal technologies. 🔍 Read more: ⤵

Unclear Visions of Carbon Removal - ECH

Current climate goals require the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, how exactly this should happen is up for debate. [...]

Carbon removal has surged on the climate policy agenda. But which sectors can claim what shares of these negative emissions? In a recent paper, we explore expectations of carbon removal in the EU's hard-to-abate and fossil industries and discuss the emerging industrial politics of carbon removal.

Frontiers | Whose negative emissions? Exploring emergent perspectives on CDR from the EU's hard to abate and fossil industries

Net zero targets have rapidly become the guiding principle of climate policy, implying the use of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to compensate for residual emi...

Renewables are exceeding expectations - but so are emissions. Why? Part of the fossil economy's staying power comes from false promises of techno-neutralisation. CCS is the OG machine saviour. A new blog for you, on why its second coming hasn't come. ketanjoshi.co/2024/11/24/2... (+ thread)

Today is Overshoot release day! My excitement is rather dampened by everything that's going on, but I hope we've managed to make a small contribution to understanding this insane world. Please buy it directly from @versobooks.bsky.social, they need the support! versobooks.com/en-gb/produc...

Overshoot

The world is on the cusp of one and a half degrees of warming – just the rise it has committed itself to avoiding. Heat at such levels would be intolerable. Even before one and a half, seasons of clim...
