Ratcheting ambition to limit warming to 1.5 °C – trade-offs between emission reductions and carbon dioxide removal

Ratcheting ambition to limit warming to 1.5 °C – trade-offs between emission reductions and carbon dioxide removal

Mitigation scenarios to limit global warming to 1.5 °C or less in 2100 often rely on large amounts of carbon dioxide removal (CDR), which carry significant potential social, environmental, political and economic risks. A precautionary approach to scenario creation is therefore indicated. This letter...
