Agenda<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n- Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDD) and governance arrangements. <\/b>Vanessa Suarez. Policy Advisor, Carbon180.<\/li>\n
- Large-scale EDC approaches and the potential benefits and risks to achieving the SDGs. <\/b>Natalia Rubiano. PhD Candidate, Lund University.<\/li>\n
- Zero Net Emissions Strategies in Latin America and the Caribbean and the role of large-scale EDC approaches. <\/b>Joseluis Samaniego. Director of the Sustainable Development and Human Settlements Division, ECLAC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
About the panelists<\/h2>\n
Vanessa Suarez<\/strong><\/p>\nPolicy Advisor for Carbon180, where she works on U.S. federal policy on natural and technological carbon removal solutions. Previously, she was a student at UC Berkeley, where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Conservation and Natural Resource Studies, and completed a thesis on soil carbon removal in grassland ecosystems.<\/p>\n
Natalia Rubiano<\/strong><\/p>\nShe has worked on development and sustainability issues throughout her career, mainly with the United Nations Development Programme. She was part of the C2G team as Outreach Officer and is currently a PhD candidate at Lund University (Sweden). Her research project focuses on the political, social and economic implications of negative emission technologies.<\/p>\n
Joseluis Samaniego<\/strong><\/p>\nDirector of the Sustainable Development and Human Settlements Division of ECLAC. He is an economist from the Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico (UNAM) and holds a Master's degree in International Political Economy. He also holds a PhD in Economics from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). He is the author and co-author of numerous articles and books on climate change, the challenge of public policies and the economic analysis of climate change. He has been a consultant for the World Bank, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
\nUnited Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), among other international organizations.<\/p>\n
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 1.5\u00b0C Special Report on Global Warming indicates that large-scale removal of carbon dioxide must be part of the international strategy to keep temperature increase well below 2\u00b0C to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The pathways proposed in the Special Report involve a combination of biological and technological approaches to large-scale Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). While the use of CDR has been incorporated in the IPCC pathways, the Report emphasizes that all these approaches still involve uncertainties regarding feasibility and sustainability and represent significant governance challenges.<\/p>\n
The webinar will provide an overview of the main CDR approaches focusing on governance provisions and challenges and will explore the potential benefits and risks that large-scale deployment of certain CDR techniques could have on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Finally, we will address the role that CDR could play in Net-Zero Emissions strategies in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC).<\/p>\n
