Hosted by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and others

The ocean is our planet’s unsung superhero – absorbing carbon, storing heat, and
fighting climate change, though often at great cost to its own health. This panel will
take a holistic, science-first look at marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR),
considering multiple biotic and abiotic approaches to strengthen the ocean’s natural
carbon sink.

What we’ll cover

Together, we’ll explore questions including:

• How could this work in practice?
• How would we measure its effectiveness?
• What risks or trade-offs must be considered, understood, and managed?
• How can it be done responsibly, for the benefit of both people and the planet?
• And the challenges of funding and governance standards for field scale studies. Panelists will bring
  a breadth of perspectives – from science and research, to policy and NGO
  perspectives – to help ensure the discussion reflects both the opportunities and
  challenges ahead.
