This end of year newsletter outlines some of our recent highlights and upcoming work. All resources can be accessed via our website: www.<http://www.american.edu/sis/carbonremoval>carbonremoval.info<http://carbonremoval.info/> The Carbon Removal Debate: A New ICRLP Report [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/aefcb76ff1d91744e5f20bb45/images/272ba50d-ba07-48f2-957e-9274be8ba642.png]<https://www.american.edu/sis/centers/carbon-removal/upload/carbon-removal-debate.pdf> The second report of our carbon removal briefing paper series, "The Carbon Removal Debate," examines how carbon removal methods have suddenly appeared on the climate agenda & argues for a more honest debate about their uncertainties. Prepared by communications scholar Matthew Nisbet<https://camd.northeastern.edu/faculty/matthew-c-nisbet/>, this report builds on two events held by ICRLP to solicit critical feedback. The Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes at Arizona State University co-hosted the first event with us (see video here<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lax9ZEq006s&t=929s>) and the second meeting was convened in Boston (see meeting report here<https://www.american.edu/sis/centers/carbon-removal/upload/boston-workshop-report_final.pdf>).

Lessons from Iain M. Banks’ Culture series<https://www.elementascience.org/articles/10.1525/elementa.378/>," Simon Nicholson * ICRLP co-director Wil Burns <https://www.american.edu/sis/faculty/wburns.cfm> took part in a convening of experts and funders to discuss knowledge gaps in the field of ocean alkalinity enhancement. The result is a co-authored report<https://www.ceaconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/Ocean-Alkalinity-Enhancement-CEA-proceedings-doc..pdf> on the current state of knowledge on ocean alkalinity enhancement and the potential role of philanthropy. * ICRLP Faculty Fellow Jason Funk<https://www.american.edu/sis/centers/carbon-removal/about.cfm> co-authored a report <https://www.conservation.org/docs/default-source/publication-pdfs/guide-to-including-nature-in-ndcs.pdf?sfvrsn=99aecda2_2> on integrating nature into Nationally Determined Contributions Events * In November 2019, ICRLP co-hosted the event, "Prospects for Carbon Dioxide Removal in Climate Policy-Making within the United States" with Chatham House and the Royal Institute of International Affairs. Presentations that were shown at the meeting are available to view here<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/a2htas7rzvh3uki/AACNKHWfLiu7HDyaMMaq8pNBa?dl=0>. * In December 2019, ICRLP organized a panel discussion on carbon removal at the Policy Studies Organization's 13th Annual Dupont Summit on Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy. Simon Nicholson and David Morrow spoke on the panel alongside Maya Breitburg-Smith (RESOLVE) and Olufemi Taiwo (Georgetown University).

Our team will be joined by two postdocs who will work to improve modeling of carbon removal in IAMs. Be on the lookout for an exciting new carbon removal podcast series that we will begin early in the new year. Additionally, our webinar series will pick back with a session on enhanced weathering. We look forward to continued engagement and research in the new year and as always please feel free to reach out if you would like to become more involved in the Institute or have any questions or comments. Happy New Year from all of us at the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy! Team Spotlight David Morrow The Institute is thrilled to announce the release of Director of Research David Morrow's<https://www.davidmorrow.net/> new book, Values in Climate Policy (Rowman & Littlefield International, 2019). This book offers an insightful discussion of the moral and ethical implications of climate on policy and how the choices we make impact the climate change timeline. A book launch will be held at American University's School of International Service on February 25 from 5:30-7pm.
