CGIAR Climate Impact Area Webinar Series: Webinar 4: About Adaptation and Carbon Dioxide Removalin a Warming World

The effectiveness of adaptation in reducing climate-related risks is known to decline at higher warming levels (Lissner et al., 2024). Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is one way to stabilize temperature levels as stated in the latest CDR report, even though deep and sustained emissions reduction in all sectors remains the most important pathway for keeping within Paris-agreed goals.

From these two facts, we ask: What do we know about adaptation and CDR in a warming world?

The latest webinar from CGIAR’s Climate Impact Platform will explore this question, bringing together expert speakers from two different fields of climate research.

Adaptation actions are becoming less effective as the average global temperature continues to climb. Dr Tabea Lissner, Research Director, Global Solutions Initiative and a Lead Author of the 6th IPCC Assessment, has dedicated her career to understanding climate change adaptation, vulnerability, and risk. Her talk will spring from this study and this Carbon Brief blog post, b
