Carbon Market Watch, ECOS, EEB, Bellona, IATP, FERN and WWF address an open letter to the European Commission in the context of the anticipated proposal on the Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF).

We believe this piece of legislation can have merits and address a gap in the EU climate policy framework, but risks seriously undermining its own declared purpose of climate ambition. The letter details the priorities that need to be taken into account in the proposal for it to fulfil its potential, and for the EU to take a leadership position in rolling out real and sustainable carbon removals.
