CUR8's 10 Takeaways from COP28

“CUR8 is a market maker for carbon removals, acting on the science that tells us we need billions of tonnes of removals to stay below 1.5 degrees. While the final commitments that emerged from COP28 left much to be desired, it was hugely encouraging to see carbon removals take a much more visible role in the discussions, both inside the official negotiating rooms and outside them too.
