EEB Press Briefing on the Carbon Removals Certification Mechanism
This press briefing document outlines the EEB’s position on the European Commission’s Carbon Removals Certification Mechanism. For the benefit of journalists and other interested parties, it offers some background on the urgent need to act on emissions reductions and removals. It provides the empirical basis for these claims, and sets forth some clear recommendations for how to maximise the potential of this framework, and crucially, how to prevent it from becoming a tool for greenwashing.
