2020 Democratic Party Platform (Draft)
This is the United States Democratic Party’s draft policy platform that includes sections on the potential role of carbon dioxide removal/negative emissions technologies to combat climate change.
Fair-share carbon dioxide removal increases major emitter responsibility
This paper applies two common burden-sharing principles to show how CDR responsibility could be shared between regions in 1.5 °C and 2 °C mitigation pathways.
Options for supporting Carbon Dioxide Removal
This report sets out to examine the broad policy frameworks that can support the development and upscaling of CDR and, in particular, whether CDR can be supported by offsetting schemes.
Governance of land-based negative-emission technologies to promote biodiversity conservation: lessons from Australia
This paper argues that domestic laws should be used to maximize the benefits of NETs while minimizing trade-offs for biodiversity.
Lessons from Renewable Energy Diffusion for Carbon Dioxide Removal Development
This paper focuses on price regulations, typically in the form of price subsidies (FITs) or tenders (competitive auctions), in developing carbon dioxide removal technologies.
Legal framework of private afforestation: The case of Turkey
This study identifies the legal and administrative regulation dimensions of the land use policy on private afforestation in Turkey and compares them with other successful international afforestation policies.
Removing Carbon Now
This report addresses how can companies and individuals can fund negative emissions technologies in a safe and effective way to help solve the climate crisis.
S.3894 – Growing Climate Solutions Act of 2020
The Growing Climate Solutions Act creates a certification program at USDA to help solve technical entry barriers to farmer and forest landowner participation in carbon credit markets.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals from Forest Land, Woodlands, and Urban Trees in the United States, 1990-2018
This report provides an overview of the status and trends of GHG emissions and removals from forest land, woodlands in the grassland category, HWPs, and urban trees in settlements in the United States from 1990 to 2018.
Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks
The report presents data on carbon sequestration from the Land Use, Land-Use change, and Forestry (LULUCF) sector and from enhanced oil recovery in the United States.
