Join this webinar to explore the critical question of what constitutes "permanent" carbon sequestration in growing carbon removal markets. Examine Dr. Stephanie Arcusa's research with Dr. Klaus Lackner arguing that carbon storage should persist on climate-relevant timescales of over 10,000 years. Discover how this extended timeframe impacts considerations of fairness, responsibility, and climate integrity in carbon dioxide removal strategies. Learn about the scientific, technological, and ethical implications of long-term carbon storage requirements from Assistant Professor Stephanie Arcusa of Arizona State University's School of Complex Adaptive Systems and Thunderbird School of Global Management, moderated by Dr. Wil Burns, Co-Director of the Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal at American University. Gain insights into how duration standards for carbon sequestration affect the effectiveness and credibility of carbon removal technologies in combating climate change.
