CDR2030 is an action agenda for carbon dioxide removal, embedded in the COP Action Agenda and built around the same timeline and logic. Its purpose is to strengthen implementation this decade: to multiply near-term ambition, improve enabling conditions for future scale, and help translate scientific necessity into coordinated action.
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is already embedded in the scientific and multilateral logic of the Paris Agreement's goals. Since 2018, IPCC-assessed pathways for limiting warming to 1.5°C and 2°C have made clear that climate stabilization requires not only deep emissions cuts, but also removals:
“Achieving global net zero GHG emissions requires all remaining CO2 and metric-weighted non-CO2 GHG emissions to be counterbalanced by durably stored CO2 removals."
By reducing barriers, aligning institutions and initiatives, and accelerating collaboration across sectors, CDR2030 is designed to help make possible the level of carbon removal deployment that the science now assumes.

Our Conveners are the organizations that guide and moderate the work of the CDR2030 community, and collectively serve as its secretariat . Each moderates the activities of one of the three activation groups hosted within the community - bringing together the relevant actors, shaping collaboration, and helping translate shared objectives into practical progress.
CDR2030's activation groups are the core units through which implementation is organized and advanced. Our conveners are placed in these roles because they bring distinct expertise, networks, and influence in the parts of the CDR landscape most relevant to each group — from corporate demand creation to public policy and industrial deployment.
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) is a global network of leading companies working to accelerate sustainable transformation across business, value chains, and major economic systems. An active participant in the COP30 Action Agenda and the host initiative for CDR2030, WBCSD brings strong institutional alignment with the action-oriented implementation model that CDR2030 is designed to advance.
As convener of Activation Group 1: Demand Mobilization, WBCSD brings the corporate reach, value-chain expertise, and implementation focus needed to help turn business interest in CDR into real demand signals, partnerships, and member-led Actions. Its recent work on in-value-chain CDR highlights exactly the kind of opportunity CDR2030 is meant to accelerate: companies identifying where carbon removal can fit into real operations, supply chains, products, and investment decisions.
The Group of Negative Emitters (GONE) is a pioneering alliance of countries committed to going beyond net zero by removing and absorbing more greenhouse gases than they emit. Launched at COP28 by Denmark, Finland, and Panama, and expanded at COP29 to include eight countries across the Global North and Global South, GONE represents a new model of climate leadership focused on net-negative ambition.
As convener of Activation Group 2: Policy Activation, GONE brings government leadership, international credibility, and policy focus needed to help turn CDR ambition into enabling frameworks. Its role is especially important for ensuring that carbon removal complements deep emissions reductions while helping countries develop the policies, partnerships, and implementation pathways needed to make net-negative emissions achievable.
The Bellona Environmental Foundation is an international, science-based environmental NGO known for pairing technical expertise with practical climate policy and industry engagement. Its work on CCS, carbon management, industrial decarbonization, and CO₂ infrastructure makes it especially relevant to the parts of CDR that must connect with real industrial systems.
As convener of Activation Group 3: Industrial Integration, Bellona brings the credibility and applied expertise needed to help identify where CDR can fit into hard-to-abate sectors, shared infrastructure, and industrial value chains. Its role is to help ensure that CDR is integrated responsibly into the systems where large-scale deployment will actually have to happen.
Meeting the 2030 Implementation Target will require more than isolated efforts. It requires an architecture that can replace fragmentation with sustained collaboration, connect the actors most able to move implementation forward, and generate increasingly ambitious Actions to Accelerate CDR over successive COP cycles.
CDR2030 is designed to provide that architecture: organizing participation through focused activation groups and turning collaboration into concrete actions that can be developed, published, elevated, and advanced over time.
Actions to Accelerate CDR turn ambition into real world implementation by supporting concrete projects, commitments, and measurable progress
by 2030.
CDR2030 brings together implementers, partners, and supporters into a global membership network focused on moving carbon removal from interest to action.
CDR2030 creates spaces for collaboration across sectors, helping members coordinate strategies, share learning, and build the partnerships needed to scale carbon removal.
CDR2030 amplifies the people, projects, and progress advancing carbon removal, helping individual efforts become more visible, and connected within a growing global story of momentum.
The CDR2030 team is composed of representatives from convening organizations and partner institutions who serve as moderators, specialists, and advisors for the community.
Their role is to help members connect, learn from one another, exchange practical knowledge, and develop Actions to Accelerate CDR.The team will expand over time as the CDR2030 community grows, new partners join, and the scope of activities evolves toward 2030.
