A carbon removal New Year's special

Rahima and I are back for another fun episode to reflect on launching Carbon Removal Canada, recap the last year of our lives, and look ahead to the next year in carbon removal.

Episode 32 is with Na’im Merchant and Rahima Dosani.

Building off of the special episode they did a year ago, Na’im and Rahima are back to reflect on all things carbon removal in 2023 and what’s in store for 2024. They also get into launching Carbon Removal Canada, the role Canada can play in scaling carbon removal (CDR), managing changing professional demands, and other personal questions that Na’im was clearly not prepared for!

We hope you enjoy the episode and wish everyone a happy 2024!

Happy New Year!
