Using carbon dioxide removal (CDR) for easily decarbonised sectors may make net zero unachievable. Nearly all 1.5°C pathways require CDR for hard-to-abate emissions, so misallocating it risks failure.

When economies are sufficiently large, unilateral decarbonization 🌍 (a single economy's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions independently of what others do) pays for itself. "For the United States 🇺🇸 and for the European Union 🇪🇺, decarbonizing over 80% of economic activity pays for itself."

Does Unilateral Decarbonization Pay for Itself?
(May 2025) - This paper shows that unilateral decarbonization pays for itself in large economies. We estimate economic damages based on global temperature shocks and combine them with a climate-economy model to construct domestic costs of carbon: $226 per…
