Emissions policies have failed to keep global temperatures in check. What now? Governments need to put much more focus on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) policies as well. Both approaches are equally important.

Governments have played a key role throughout history in building infrastructure. So why are we expecting private markets to scale CDR on their own? This is a challenge tailor made for government involvement.

We need to begin removing huge amounts of CO2 from our planet's atmosphere. But political oppositition to and misunderstandings about "geoengineerg" are an issue. What is geoengineering, how did these misunderstandings arise, and how do we move forward?

The world owes Bill Gates its heartfelt thanks a billion times over for his decades of humanitarian work through the Gates Foundation. But in his latest memo (Three tough truths about climate), Gates is blinded by short-term compassion as he encourages the world to stop worrying so much about global warming and focus instead on improving lives in the here and now.

The term net zero is a cornerstone of modern climate policy, invoked by nearly every major country and corporation as a benchmark of responsibility. Yet behind this apparent consensus lies a wide array of definitions, accounting practices, and political choices that shape how genuine progress toward our climate goals is made and measured. Remedying these inconsistencies is essential if we are to keep building our climate policy future on this foundation.

Global cooperation on CDR can help governments share risk, align policy, and scale carbon-dioxide removal faster than any one country working alone.
