On April 4th , the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published Working Group III’s contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report on the mitigation of climate change. The NEGEM consortium, of which Bellona is a part, congratulates the hundreds of scientists, technical experts and reviewers involved in the drafting of this important document.
This briefing outlines the NEGEM consortium’s reflections on the way CDR is handled in the IPCC report and provides recommendations for ongoing CDR research and policy developments. The headline message of the report is clear: our current and expected pathways of emissions are not in line with the Paris Agreement and we must move quickly to reduce emissions this decade.
The consortium echoes the statement made by Jim Skea, co-Chair of the IPCC WGIII, at the presentation of the report: “It’s now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5°C; without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible.”

Russia is a world leader in the construction of nuclear power plants abroad. Despite the sanctions pressure on Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, its nuclear industry has remained virtually untouched.
Today, the Bellona Foundation is launching the establishment of the Center for Marine Restoration in Kabelvåg, Lofoten. At the same time, collaboration agreements related to the center were signed with Norrøna, the University of Tromsø, the Lofoten Council and Blue Harvest Technologies
To ensure that Germany achieves its goal of climate neutrality by 2045, negative emissions are necessary, as depicted in the global IPCC scenarios.
