RESCUE Climate

🌊The ocean already acts as a natural carbon sink, but could we enhance this ability to remove more CO₂ from the atmosphere?

Our new Climate Classroom dives into Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement: how it works, its potential, and the scientific questions around safety and deployment.

🌍Yesterday, we brought the RESCUE Climate Challenge to a school in Barcelona!

With students 14–15 years old, we talked about climate change and the role carbon dioxide removal (CDR) can play.

🎲You have here the game available in Spanish and English⤵️

RESCUE partners are convening a session at #EGU26 on:

👉 Monitoring the efficiency & environmental impacts of carbon dioxide removal.

🌊The ocean can absorb and store part of the CO₂ we emit, acting as a natural carbon sink.

❓Could we help the ocean absorb more CO₂?
❓How is it deployed, and what do scientists study to ensure it’s safe and effective?

👉 This Climate Classroom explores this approach. Take a look! buff.ly/kDXk8ak

🌊 New Climate Classroom on Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE)!

This Climate Classroom explains:
🔸 How the ocean naturally captures CO2
🔸 How OAE works
🔸 How RESCUE is exploring the deployment of OAE

What our multimodel analysis has shown:

🌴In tropical regions, planting trees tends to cool the climate;
❄️In high-latitude areas, new forests can darken snowy surfaces & cause local warming, despite their CO₂ removal potential

Tree planting isn’t a simple, one-size-fits-all fix overall!

🌊 The ocean has the potential to absorb and store part of the excess carbon dioxide emitted. Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) is a promising carbon dioxide removal approach currently explored.

But how does it work and what are its challenges?

❓ Can CDR reverse agroecological drought due to atmospheric CO2 emissions?

A new RESCUE-funded study highlights that drought increases in hotspot regions cannot be symmetrically reversed by CDR, and the need for long-term drought adaptation planning.

📢 RESCUE at the first Overshoot Conference 2025!

From 30 Sept to 2 Oct 2025, RESCUE researchers participated at the conference in Laxenburg, Austria, held by our project partner IIASA. The event gathered scientists, policymakers & stakeholders to discuss climate overshoot 🌡️

🤝 Last week, RESCUE participated in a joint policy meeting hosted by @esm2025.bsky.social

This brought together policy officers and European projects with common themes & approches (OptimESM, TipESM, ClimTip, nextGEMS) to present their latest policy-relevant results and discuss the research impact.

#FestadelaCiència

🌳 Afforestation and reforestation (A/R) for carbon removal could play an important role in low-emission scenarios. But Earth system models disagree on the extent and spatial distribution of A/R needed. A recent RESCUE paper explores this, and how to improve future projections.
