A United Nations report will lay out a plan for implementing various forms of carbon removal technology. Carbon removal technology could bring us back from the edge of a climate catastrophe.
According to Professor Jim Skea, co-chair of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the panel's latest report will focus on both carbon removal and mitigation.
The full spectrum of carbon dioxide removal approaches is covered in the report, and the carbon dioxide that is removed can end up in very different stores and different places.
Skea says the report will cover a range of approaches from planting trees to carbon capture machines that suck CO2 out of the air.
Skea said that the review will focus for the first time on the social motivators of carbon removal and will hopefully aid adoption of carbon removal methods.
The report will not be doom and gloom, unlike the last one.
The report will depend on the outcome of negotiations between government representatives from almost 200 countries, a delicate process that will likely take a considerable amount of time.
It is all about setting the tone going forward.
The activities of humans have caused climate change, but human beings also have the agency to do something about it, Skea told the BBC.
