Sustainable Carbon Management

Exploring and designing solutions for fair and sustainable natural sink management and carbon dioxide removal deployment.

Research topics

This group is interested in investigating robust carbon management portfolios to meet multiple sustainable development objectives. As an interdisciplinary group, they apply a range of quantitative and qualitative modelling methods, including:

  • Spatial analysis
  • Scenario assessment
  • Evidence synthesis: systematic reviews and meta-analyses
  • Media and discourse analysis
  • Expert elicitation
  • Decision-making under deep uncertainty

Research projects

The group focuses on three thematic areas informed by an ecosystem of ecosystem of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) reviews:

1. CDR across scales:

  • Urban CDR
  • Global robust CDR portfolios

2. Policy coherence:

  • Land tenure conflict
  • Biodiversity implications of CDR deployment

 3. Investigating potential barriers and enablers for deployment:

  • Justice frameworks for CDR deployment
  • Media analysis
  • Side-effects of deploying CDR
  • Financing for CDR
  • Monitoring, Reporting and Verification
