Just wanted to ask if you’ve accounted for the time value of carbon in your theory of change yet. According to Project Drawdown, 96% of the solution (of getting to net zero) comes from emissions reductions rather than removals. And 76% comes from reductions made in the 2020s. A tonne of emissions reduced this year is far more impactful than one removed in five or ten years because the effect is cumulative.
So it feels like this focus on R&D and removals is overweighted imo.
Hi,
Thanks for this!

Let me know what you think.
