What if we could build a global waste disposal service for carbon? In this forward-thinking talk, carbon capture advisor Bas Sudmeijer proposes building CO2 networks: partnerships between cities around the world that would share the cost and geological resources needed to trap emissions deep in the earth — and give us a shot at stalling climate change.

This talk was presented at a TED Institute event given in partnership with BCG.
