This is our final post & Steve Smith, our Executive Director, has the last word: co2re.org/five-and-a-h... It's been a privilege. Thank you to @ukri.org, BBRSC, NERC, our advisors, our CO2RE & Demonstrator colleagues, our stakeholders, & everyone who has engaged with our work. We are grateful.

Today we published our very last policy briefing! "Technology Learning for Net Zero: Deep uncertainty, two-factor learning & policy sequencing in carbon dioxide removal". co2re.org/publication/...

Rounding off our posts about the CO2RE Arts initiative, we're thrilled to share a beautiful short film about our "Reclaiming Hope, Removing Carbon" event held at the Bristol Botanic Garden in June. #SciArt youtu.be/QvXDpzl4m2A?...

Billie Ireland makes temporary land art, sculpture, paperworks & film. The process of making biochar & creating sculptures with it is a key part of her work. At our "Reclaiming Hope, Removing Carbon" event in June, she exhibited "Sacred Carbon: Where the past, present and future merge". #SciArt

Since the Greenhouse Gas Removal Future Leaders Network (FLN) was established, it has gone from strength to strength. It's been a privilege to support it over the last few years & watch it grow to >200 members. The Network brings together practitioners who are working on GGR to build their skills.

We're thrilled to share the new teaser for Miranda Whall's film "When Peat Speaks: A Boggy Gassy Bubbly Ensemble". Miranda is one of the 7 artists funded by CO2RE to make work exploring greenhouse gas removal (GGR). The film is a Hijack & Miranda Whall production, 2026. vimeo.com/1240182188 #SciArt

What if, centuries from now, we could look back at a time when we decided to clean up our atmosphere? In "The Day We Cleaned the Sky", CO2RE Artist Selina Wagner tells a story from the future that celebrates our choice 500 years earlier to use greenhouse gas removal to do just that. #SciArt

⌛After 5 1/2 years, CO2RE is winding down at the end of this month. We've been celebrating our CO2RE Artists recently & we'll continue to do that over the next week. Our website & all its resources will continue to be available for 5 years after the programme closes: co2re.org

The chance to keep global warming below 1.5°C with no overshoot is gone. But urgent action can still limit the overshoot and bring warming back to 1.5°C by 2100. Current policies, however, put the 🌎 on course for up to 2.8°C this century. New #EmissionsGap Report: https://ow.ly/SNHX50ZZz8l

Most people don't spend much time thinking about algae. What if interacting with it could increase our awareness of our place in an interconnected living system? This was the aim of "Phycologica", a project by Studio Blue Green. Learn more from Andrew Stone, Studio Blue Green co-founder. ⬇️ #SciArt

We often think of efforts to combat climate change as political, technological, social or economic actions. What if they could also be rituals? #SciArt

This week Prof Myles Allen was on the BBC's Today Programme to talk about why approval for the Rosebank & Jackdaw fields should come with the condition that licencees are required to store a rising % of their CO2 emissions. 🎧 on BBC Sounds (from about 53:45): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

The planet will keep getting hotter, even with ongoing efforts to slow the temperature rise. But choices exist.   Every fraction of a degree prevented, & every year by which the overshoot period is shortened, will save lives, protect ecosystems, & reduce economic losses. More: tinyurl.com/2vb9krpj

This week 5 CO2RE academics were lead authors of an open letter to the DESNZ Sec of State. The authors argue that if the Jackdaw & Rosebank oil & gas fields are approved, the licencees should be required to permanently store a rising percentage of their CO2 emissions. co2re.org/open-letter-...
