All the UK nations have repeatedly missed their tree planting targets since 2020.
This means an area of forest nearly the size of Birmingham has not been planted 🌳🌲🌳

A 🧵 about what has happened...
The first feature film on CO2 removal is coming out this autumn.
The director @LeilaConners told the #NegativeCo2Conference about the upcoming film!
Final day of the #NegativeCo2Conference!
Sabine Fuss introduces the systematic review on co2 removal.
This project will pull together thousands of papers from 8 key themes - as well as some cross-cutting topics.
Was not expecting Taylor Swift to pop up at the #NegativeCo2Conference!
Great talk by Martke Koppen on the legal challenges facing CDR regulation.

To all UK journalists: the climate crisis needs to feature more in this election campaign. You have an opportunity to put climate change on the front pages tomorrow.
Ask @UniofReading for the images you can use.

Only 28/71 national climate strategies quantify residual emissions at the point of net zero.
Most residual emissions are from agriculture, but they are less talked about than industry residual emissions.
Great tall by @harry_b_smith at #NegativeCo2Conference
Miranda Bottcher presenting the results of a workshop looking to rank the main risks of marine CDR.
This is a cool exercise - participants were asked to come up with possible future newspaper titles in a world where marine CDR has been is scaled up
