<p>The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change provides a mechanism for global cooperation
to assess research into Greenhouse Gas Removal technologies (GGRs) and Solar Radiation
Management (SRM). These technologies are included in the scope of the upcoming 6th
Assessment Report, due for publication in 2021.</p><p>The UK is a leading member of
a number of multi-lateral initiatives focused on accelerating progress, and improving
global cooperation, of Carbon Capture, Use and Storage (CCUS) which is an important
enabler of some GGRs. This includes the UK co-leading the Carbon Capture Challenge
under Mission Innovation and the CCUS Initiative under the Clean Energy Ministerial.
The UK also co-hosted, with the International Energy Agency, a Global CCUS Summit
in Edinburgh last November bringing together senior energy leaders from governments
and industry on how to accelerate global progress on CCUS.</p><p>As a leading provider
of International Climate Finance, the UK supports developing countries to restore
degraded forest landscapes to support local livelihoods and restore carbon stocks
as part of their contributions under the Paris Agreement.</p><p>We have no plans to
increase global cooperation and governance of research on and use of SRM technologies.
A resolution on SRM governance was recently put before the UN Environment Assembly
by Switzerland, but did not gather enough support from other countries, and the resolution
was withdrawn.</p>
