Steve Smith comments on UK debate on carbon capture and storage, saying “CCS is one of the crucial parts in the whole jigsaw that makes up a clean, green UK for the future. It’s not an alternative to better home insulation, renewables, electric cars and the like; it’s an additional requirement if we are serious about the climate.”

Steve Smith comments on the potential of direct air capture technology, so long as its use doesn't divert attention or resources from emissions reductions efforts across industries.

Kaya Axelsson comments on the Games' commitment to 'climate contributions' rather than offsets. "It's a great way to stay honest about an organisation's own footprint while supporting and financing progress to global net zero goals."

Reuters reports on the 2024 State of Carbon Dioxide Report, which found that 7-9 billion tons of CO2 must be removed from the atmosphere every year if the world is to meet its climate targets. "Global net greenhouse gas emissions were about 55 billion tonnes per year in 2022, and emissions accumulate in the atmosphere, so every year, every action counts," said co-author Professor Gregory Nemet.
