Description:
No matter how quickly we reduce GHG emissions, mitigation can at best deliver a badly disrupted climate. Climate restoration combines mitigation with draw down and envisions lowering atmospheric CO2 from 415 ppm, where it is today, to below 300 ppm. Both the technology and financing methods already exist to reclaim the safe and healthy climate we enjoyed before the industrial revolution. Specific examples of promising technologies with potential commercial viability to deploy at the scale necessary will be discussed.
