UAE Carbon Dioxide Removal

We believe one of the most important priorities in the world is to remove the excess CO2 from the atmosphere. Reducing emissions must be prioritised, of course — and alongside that, the removal of excess carbon dioxide from current levels of 424 parts-per-million must also be addressed.

With this challenge, it has been our honour to work in partnership with two inspirational partners, UAE Independent Climate Change Accelerators (UICCA) and Carbon Gap (the not-for-profit dedicated to carbon dioxide removal), to host the UAE Carbon Removal Breakthrough Coalition in the UAE.

Leaders from world-leading carbon dioxide removal (CDR) companies joined leaders from government, corporates, finance, and civil society — including young leaders — in exploring how the ecosystem can come together to make a world-leading strategy for carbon dioxide removal.

Eight streams were formed with extraordinary experts: Carbon Markets, Finance, Policy / Standards and Regulation, Direct Air Capture, Ocean Solutions, Nature-based Solutions, Enhanced Weathering and Mineralisation, and Societal Engagement.
