Managing the Risks of Carbon Storage through Effective Policy Design

Securing the Underground

This study examines the environmental and technological risks of geological storage of carbon dioxide, focusing on offshore sites. Reducing emissions remains the top priority to address the climate crisis, but carbon storage is increasingly seen as necessary to offset remaining greenhouse gas emissi

Potential of blue carbon for global climate mitigation

Achieving climate neutrality primarily requires reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, in addition it requires measures to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and storing the carbon in the long term to balance the unavoidable residual emissions. A key measure available for countries to achieve

How can we achieve a turnaround in land use, agriculture, food and forestry?

Land-use transition – Strategies and solutions for sustainable land use

Land is fundamental to our lives. We use it to grow food for ourselves and feed for livestock. We use it for forests that absorb carbon dioxide and yield timber. We benefit from its ability to store water and cool the air. And last but not least, we live and work on it. For farmers and forest own

D6.2 Policy mapping

Synthesis of policy and stakeholder requirements at EU level relevant for the forestry sector

The purpose of this analysis is to better understand the policy framework conditions under which European forestry will develop in the future. Specifically, the policy analysis will feed the design of exploratory scenarios in the ForestPaths project. On their basis, policy pathways will be developed

An analysis of the application in UK, US, France, and Canada

CO2 shadow prices and the social cost of carbon

The study analyses the application of shadow CO2 prices in the G7 countries, except for Germany. For four countries – the United Kingdom, the United States (US), Canada, and France – meaningful examples of the application of CO2 shadow prices could be found. The study consists of factsheets for
