A carbon removal New Year's special

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!
