Session Proposal: eMRV- The Importance of Environmental and Ecological Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification to Build Trust and Confidence in Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (AGU25)

GC044
eMRV- The Importance of Environmental and Ecological Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification to Build Trust and Confidence in Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

Session ID#: 251439

Session Description:
Carbon dioxide removal in the marine environment (mCDR) will need frameworks for environmental and ecological monitoring, reporting verification (eMRV) in addition to conventional carbon accounting via MRV. The purpose of eMRV is to ensure that practitioners of mCDR can quantitatively demonstrate insight into the ecological and environmental shifts in the marine environment to inform decision makers about the consequences of mCDR. This is needed to build wider public trust and confidence that these changes are well understood when weighing the benefits and consequences of mCDR. This session invites mCDR practitioners, natural and social scientists, eNGO’s and public and private funders from within and outside the mCDR research enterprise to present their views on whether or not, and to what degree eMRV protocols should be established within this rapidly evolving field, and how they should be structured to enable understanding of the near- and far-field impacts of mCDR across scales.
