Lead Strategist
As part of the IBM Blue Economy event, our Lead Strategist, Akash Rastogi, will deliver remarks about the North Atlantic Carbon Observatory (NACO).
Specifically, his presentation will focus on the need for ocean observations to support data synthesis abilities and ocean climate modeling. These efforts will play a critical role in the development of sustainable ocean policy and provide the required baseline observations to enable safe, effective and verified ocean-based carbon dioxide removal.

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), when paired with extensive emissions reductions, is a mitigation strategy to limit warming to 1.5°C as it removes legacy carbon emissions from the atmosphere by augmenting natural processes on ocean and land.
However, in order to meet climate goals, CDR must scale 30 times its present capacity by 2030, which is estimated to require an annual global investment of 1.13 billion USD/year for research and development.

This panel event is focused on the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch, which will provide a valuable tool to support the transparency of global mitigation action.
The system will be built on three components:
Open and unrestricted access to data will ensure a full transparency of system outputs, which will provide globally consistent information that will feed multiple applications including supplementary information to the traditional inventory reporting.
