The Carbon Removal Debate: Asking critical questions about climate change futures

American University
Among the identified pathways in the 2018 IPCC report for keeping warming below either 2.0°C or 1.5°C, almost all require the deployment of still speculative carbon removal and storage methods. However, most carbon removal methods remain at the preliminary research and assessment stage, with a great deal of uncertainty over their technical feasibility, social acceptability, cost, and associated impacts. In addition, some argue that the reliance on unproven carbon removal methods to fulfill climate policy goals creates a false sense of complacency about the need for an immediate and aggressive transition away from fossil fuels. This report looks at why the entire field of carbon removal needs additional scrutiny and how to build a better carbon removal conversation.

Putting a Price on Carbon: Evaluating A Carbon Price and Complementary Policies for a 1.5° World

World Resources Institute (WRI)
This paper Putting a Price on Carbon: Evaluating A Carbon Price and Complementary Policies for a 1.5° World compares what recent empirical evidence and modeling efforts tell us about the effectiveness of a carbon price in reducing emissions and shifting to low-carbon technologies with what deep decarbonization studies state regarding the pathways for meeting climate goals.
