Carbon removal from atmosphere unavoidable for 1.5°C target

Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC)

However, technology development and expansion, as well as the start of pilot projects, are considerably lagging behind deployment in climate mitigation scenarios, according to the MCC.
