 CDR Roadmap: Public Consultation Format: Mini-workshop / roundtable — fa
 cilitated consultation session This side event marks a significant milesto
 ne: the first official consultation on the Africa Marine Carbon Dioxide Re
 moval (mCDR) Roadmap following its draft release in Mombasa the week prior
 . Convened by Ocean Visions\, CSIR and SAILOR (South African Innovation La
 b for Ocean Climate Resilience)\, in partnership with the NRF's Future Ear
 th Africa Hub\, this session invites researchers\, policymakers\, and prac
 titioners from across the continent and beyond to review\, interrogate\, a
 nd shape the roadmap ahead of its finalisation. The Africa mCDR Roadmap re
 presents a continental scientific partnership — spanning institutions in
 cluding the University of Stellenbosch\, the University of Cape Town\, to 
 the Technical University of Mombassa\; aimed at advancing the science\, go
 vernance\, and responsible deployment of ocean-based carbon removal in Afr
 ica. With mCDR rising on the agenda of UNFCCC\, CBD\, and the London Conve
 ntion and Protocol\, this consultation is an opportunity to ensure African
  voices\, priorities\, and knowledge systems are central to the global con
 versation. Participants will engage in structured roundtable discussions o
 n:The current state of mCDR science in Africa and key knowledge gapsGovern
 ance and policy frameworks for responsible mCDR deploymentCommunity and in

 integrationContinental and international collaboration opportunities Who s
