Following the climate agreement in Paris last week, it’s not enough to talk of zero emissions. The climate agreement demands policies that can hold Europe to 1.5°C. This requires negative emissions on a large and rapid scale.
Bellona therefore calls on the Commission for the immediate establishment of a new advisory body on negative emissions in order to attain deep decarbonisation – Bellona President Frederic Hauge.

The following op-ed, written by Bellona’s Charles Digges, originally appeared in The Moscow Times. In recent months, the Russian nuclear in...
