“Gigatonne by 2030” Campaign
To elevate climate goals and enhance global collaboration and dialogue on carbon management solutions, the Mission Innovation Carbon Dioxide Removal (MI CDR) and the Clean Energy CCUS Ministerial (CEM CCUS) have launched the “Gigatonne by 2030” campaign. The campaign will support the Carbon Management Challenge (CMC) to advance carbon management to gigatonne scale by 2030.
The joint effort will accelerate action on carbon management innovation and deployment and coordinate knowledge exchange and activities across the innovation-to-deployment spectrum.
The campaign aims to:
- Embed carbon management discussions within policy dialogues, including Ministers and high-level government leaders where possible
- Act as a platform to highlight the progress of carbon management technologies
- Find alignment amongst organisations with the shared goal to scale-up carbon management solutions
Both CEM CCUS and Mission Innovation support the clean energy transition by convening global governments and leaders. The Gigatonne by 2030 campaign has set out common work agenda between them, including the development of CDR and CCUS strategy workshops, organising events focused on carbon management – both virtually and in-person – as well as developing sector-specific outreach to ensure relevant stakeholders have the opportunity to get involved and play a role in the campaign.
Under the common work agenda, ministerial meetings in upcoming CEM MI convenings will serve to highlight carbon management in general, to take stock of common progress in carbon management and in the CMC, to highlight national advancements, and to discuss collaboration going forward. The campaign includes dedicated public webinars to highlight the CMC.
