Carbon Capture Technologies and Natural Climate Solutions: 1+1 = 3

The Outlook | May 2023

A trusted source of environmental information

This report provides an introduction to technologies for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), the policy and regulatory context, and the role of the forest and wood products sector. The investment in natural climate solutions has a direct impact on the forest and wood products sector as it can include investments in forestry, ecosystem maintenance and restoration, tree planting, and innovative wood products as strategies for sequestering carbon in the forest, storage in the built environment, and a more circular economic model with reduced climate impacts. Addressing climate change requires a robust menu of strategies being implemented, researched, and enhanced with all due haste.
