In order to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, we can\\u2019t just reduce emissions. We have no choice but to add carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to the mix to keep global temperature rise under 2\\xb0C. So, what CO2 removal processes are in development? And what are governments and nonprofits doing to advocate for and fund carbon removal?

\\n

Dr. Jan Mazurek serves as Senior Director at the ClimateWorks Foundation, where she leads the Carbon Dioxide Removal Fund. On this episode of Reversing Climate Change, Dr. Mazurek joins Ross to discuss what the Biden administration is doing to make \\u2018historic strides on climate\\u2019 and explain what carbon removal measures are left out of the Biden-Harris climate agenda.

\\n

Dr. Mazurek explores why it\\u2019s politically beneficial to lead with rural resilience and job opportunities as opposed to carbon removal, describing how ClimateWorks grantees partner with unions to garner support for DAC. Listen in for Dr. Mazurek\\u2019s insight on the challenges associated with carbon pricing and find out why it\\u2019s crucial to engage front line communities in the discussion around carbon removal.
