To stay below 1.5C warming agreed under the Paris Accord and to return the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration to a safer level, humanity will need to reduce emissions to net-zero and achieve negative emissions for some time by deploying large-scale Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) that sequester carbon indefinitely. Many CDR activities are in development, some are in testing, and others are ready for large-scale deployment. However, the scale of deployment raises real concerns ranging from wasting time and resources to permanently altering ecosystem functionings and endangering the health and livelihoods of communities.
