Background:
The State of CDR project first emerged as a collaboration among researchers that aimed to establish a reliable, independent and scientific assessment of the field. The first edition of the State of CDR was published in January 2023, with the second following in June 2024. The reports have succeeded in providing a first estimate of current global CDR deployment, and the gap between CDR proposed by countries and pathways to meet global climate goals. They have also quantified the development of CDR research, innovation and public perceptions. In generating this analysis, the initiative has created an international author community of over 50 experts, improved data availability through a new open-access data portal, and set a new standard of communication through an innovative approach with expert editors and visual developers.
The next 2-year phase of the State of CDR programme will ensure that the key facets of CDR development continue to be monitored and disseminated, openly and reliably, to improve decision-making over the coming crucial decades. We will deliver this through four activity streams -- data collection and provision, report authoring, outreach and engagement and institution building.
The candidate will join the Evidence for Climate Solutions group (
