Climate Week's carbon removal gap: why capital decisions for CDR can't wait

Climate Week agendas focused heavily on cutting emissions over the next decade, but carbon removal barely made the cut. That omission matters because removal projects take years to develop and need capital commitments now, not after 2030. The piece argues that starting these conversations late means a harder landing later. For anyone tracking carbon markets or climate finance, it is a useful reminder that near-term mitigation and long-term removal are not either/or choices. The real question is how to allocate capital across both without kicking the harder problem down the road.
