In this forward-looking Spotlight, the Head of Strategic Partnerships at Climeworks explores how carbon removal is evolving from a set of emerging technologies into a strategic portfolio spanning nature-based, engineered, and hybrid solutions. As countries confront distinct geographic, economic, and ecological constraints, carbon removal presents a pathway to climate action grounded in local benefits while delivering global impact. The question is no longer which single approach will scale, but how to match the right mix of solutions to the right environments, while building portfolios that de-risk delivery and enable credible, long-term investment. This session will highlight how portfolio-based approaches to carbon removal can unlock new opportunities for countries, investors, and developers, positioning them to participate in a resilient and rapidly evolving global carbon economy.
