Funding Climate Progress rather than Climate Perfection (or why I am going to Glasgow COP26)

For me Glasgow is all about funding real world climate technology progress and rather than pursuing ‘climate perfectionism’. Success will be measured by the scale of investment into building an emissions removals industry around nature-based solutions, emerging green industries and direct air carbon capture, utilisation and storage. These initiatives have the potential to fast follow the development profile of renewable energy and emerge into an industry to rival oil and gas in size, with the capacity of delivering a safe climate well ahead of 2050, if we can get the carbon market settings and funding models to scale as well.
