Negative Emissions Technologies

This lecture discusses the concept of negative emissions technologies (NETs) and their role in achieving climate targets. It covers the technologies for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, such as direct air capture (DAC) and carbon removal technologies. The presentation explores the challenges and governance of geoengineering, emphasizing the urgent need for reducing global emissions. It also addresses the potential risks and impacts of these technologies on the environment and sustainable development. The lecture highlights the importance of an open societal conversation on the deployment of NETs to meet international climate goals.
