This PhD position, supervised by Professor Naomi Vaughan at the University of Manchester, focuses on the critical role of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and supporting national climate policies aimed at reaching net zero emissions by 2050. The project will explore the scientific, technical, and policy dimensions of CDR, examining its integration into future emission scenarios and its reliance in governmental strategies for climate change mitigation. Students will have the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research on climate policy, greenhouse gas management, and the development of sustainable solutions for global environmental challenges.

The University of Manchester provides a vibrant research environment and access to leading experts in climate science and policy.
