CDR Without Microsoft: Mapping the Implications

​Microsoft has told two developers it intends a pause in future carbon removal purchases.

​When one company represents ~90% of demand, that’s not just news, it’s a system-level shock (if true).

​First off, this is just one source of information, has not been confirmed by MSFT, and does not represent a full pull back of payments. However the news sent reverberations through the industry.

​Instead of reacting, or even we’re opening this up:
What does this change? What breaks? What emerges?

​Join a live Call of the Wild to crowdsource implications across developers, buyers, investors, and market designers.

​This is a working session, not a panel.

​Calls of the Wild are a live, working sessions where we bring together practitioners to pressure-test real-world challenges and surface signal, not just share opinions.
