Project:

The CDR-PoEt project (Carbon Dioxide Removal Options: Policies and Ethics) is a principle-based, stakeholder-led, transparent approach to researching possible political instruments and fairness implications for carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Concrete policy options for scaling agroforestry practice are identified and evaluated on the basis of guiding principles that will allow examining its economic, socio-cultural and institutional feasibility.

The doctorate researchers will work in two case study regions: the Brazilian Amazon and the trinational Upper Rhine.

Duration: Nov. 2021 - Oct. 2024
