Current understanding of the potential impacts of Carbon Dioxide Removal approaches on the SDGs in selected countries in Latin America and the Caribbean

The objective of this study is to identify and select four Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) approaches that may be the most relevant to the LAC region/context, and conduct, when possible, an analysis on the potential economic, social and environmental impacts (positive and/or negative) that the introduction of those CDR approaches could have, in terms of a set of key indicators: Employment; GDP (Gross Domestic Product); costs; greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions removal; and, the achievement of specific SDGs.
