View AllInvesting in Carbon Removal: Demystifying Existing Approaches
According to a new research synthesis by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and ClimateWorks Foundation, investments are urgently needed to rapidly develop and scale up the carbon dioxide (CO₂) removal solutions critical to reaching net zero emissions globally by 2050. The findings were released in a new online hub, “Investing in Carbon Removal: Demystifying Existing Approaches” available at carbonremoval.economist.com

Afforestation, reforestation and other practices that restore trees to the landscape offer relatively low-cost carbon removal opportunities that are ready to implement. Surging interest in trees as a climate solution has made the outlook for this sector promising—but whether this buzz will lead to restoring trees to the landscape in a socially and environmentally responsible way depends on project oversight and policy safeguards.

Peatlands hold a disproportionate share of the world’s soil carbon stocks, but commercial interests are turning these environmental assets into long-term sources of emissions by draining soil and degrading ecosystems. Restoring natural water flow and saturating peatland through a process commonly referred to as “rewetting” can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, slow subsidence and reduce the risk of wildfire.
