This week, international negotiators are meeting in London to discuss marine pollution control under the London Protocol. A key focus is on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR), a vital climate strategy leveraging the ocean’s natural characteristics to reduce atmospheric CO2. With Canada’s progress toward its 2050 net-zero goal still limited, mCDR offers a promising path forward. A new policy brief from the Waterloo Climate Institute outlines strategic recommendations for Canada in advancing mCDR research, development, and regulation.
As negotiators meet in London, UK, to address marine pollution under the London Protocol, Canada is urged to adopt a national strategy for Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR). The latest policy brief from the Waterloo Climate Institute outlines essential steps for research, development, and regulation of mCDR in Canada. Authors, Neil Craik, Hope Elizabeth Tracey, and Kasra Motlaghzadeh share how this approach not only aligns with our 2050 net-zero emissions commitment but also emphasizes the importance of public engagement and interdisciplinary collaboration.
