Hosted by Carbon to Sea

This session will focus on the emerging governance frameworks shaping ocean-based carbon removal (oCDR) at multiple levels and their role in enabling scaling with environmental and social safeguards.

What we’ll cover

• Key international ocean governance discussions impacting oCDR, including LC/LP and BBNJ.
• The role of carbon removal in national climate goals and finance mechanisms under the UNFCCC.
• Regional policy developments in the EU, Canada, and California that influence carbon market financing.
• Contributions from civil society on data sharing, monitoring, and transparent knowledge exchange.
• How integrating policy, markets, and governance can advance climate, ocean health, and responsible innovation.
