Quick, what’s the difference between “carbon dioxide removal” (CDR) and
“carbon capture and storage” (CCS)? And what role might each play in
decarbonizing the global economy fast enough to avoid climate breakdown?
If you’re a climate journalist, you need to know the answers, especially
because CDR and CCS
will both be major bones of contention at
COP28 this November and December.
Get briefed by two of the world’s leading scientists and most gifted
climate communicators: Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, Chief Scientist of The
Nature Conservancy and Distinguished Professor at Texas Tech University,
and Sir David King, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at the University of
Cambridge and former chief science adviser to the UK government. Join
us
Thursday, Nov. 9, from 12-1pm US Eastern Time.
All CCNow Talking Shops and press briefings are for journalists only,
