Arctic Sea Ice Road Maps

First-Order Priorities The most important ambitious yet tractable actions or research needs based on the knowledge gaps.

Research and development

  • Field testing of all CDR technologies, particularly novel approaches, is still necessary to understand efficacy and impacts. See RMI's Applied Innovation Roadmap for CDR for detailed research objectives.
  • Field testing of all CDR technologies.
  • Field testing of all CDR technologies

Enabling conditions

Version published: 
  • Substantial increases in knowledge, awareness, and resources (investment) going into CDR.
  • Operational MRV systems.
  • Further development of what priorities look like in different places for different actors will be needed.

Engagement

Version published: 
  • Inclusive governance regimes that consider and implement justice while providing clarity and lowering risk on CDR technologies.
  • Public engagement, education, and town halls about all aspects of the approach need to be developed and implemented in parallel with research in order to determine whether this approach can be implemented.
  • Follow core engagement principles identified by the Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx) advisory committee (Jinnah et al. 2024):
    • Start engagement efforts as early as possible.
    • Include social scientists with engagement expertise on research teams during the research design process.
    • Don’t presuppose what communities will be concerned about.
    • Develop a plan to be responsive to community concern.
