PACE President Hugh Helferty and Advisors Margriet Kuijper and Myles Allen joined Andrew Revkin’s Sustain What webcast, a Columbia Climate School Earth Institute series, to discuss the reasoning behind the Carbon Takeback Obligation. The discussion included Vincent Obisie-Orlu, a natural resource governance researcher at Good Governance Africa, and Romany Webb, an associate research scholar at Columbia Law School and senior fellow at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law.

The group discussed why regulation is key to reach geological net zero, and why a Carbon Takeback Obligation would be one way to compel the industry to find innovative solutions toward this goal. Watch the entire live streamed conversation below:
