The CDR Policy Scoop

Inside the UK GGR / CDR Review - with Georgia Berry


Listen Later

CDR Policy Scoop is back with a deep dive into one of the most consequential CDR policy reviews to date: the Independent Review of Greenhouse Gas Removals, led by Dr Alan Whitehead and published on October 23rd 2025. Almost 200 pages packed with fascinating insights on the future of UK CDR policy.


To unpack what this means, Sebastian Manhart and Eve Tamme are joined by Georgia Berry, CDR Programme Director at the Green Finance Institute and one of the UK’s leading voices on GGRs/CDR.


Together they explore:

- What “Geological Net Zero” actually means — and why it matters

- How the Review’s five headline recommendations could reshape UK CDR

- Why the proposed Net Zero Aviation Mandate might be a game-changer

- Where nature-based removals still fit in a permanence-driven framework


Tune in to understand the Review everyone in the carbon removal world is talking about - and what it means for the UK’s path to a truly geological net zero future.
