This Article explores a rights-based approach for the governance of geoengineering in international law, including the impetus, rationale, and options for implementation.
The article addresses the international legal issues surrounding the large-scale deployment of BECCS, while proposing steps to avoid detrimental impacts.
This paper investigates whether BECCS, afforestation/reforestation, and enhanced weathering would cause moral conflicts regarding the human right to adequate food if implemented on a scale sufficient to limit global warming “to well below 2 C”.
This paper focuses on the role of indigenous peoples in the geoengineering discourse and frames the challenges with identifying indigenous consent to geoengineering activities.
This chapter, from the book Managing Global Warming (2019), gives a brief overview of the emergence of the idea of negative emissions technologies in climate change policy and the normative issues—questions of values—that they might raise.
This article argues that environmental and climate justice concerns need to be accounted for in the design of policy measures for keeping warming below 1.5°C, and outlines policy guidance for safeguarding against unintended consequences.
In this Forum, three scholars discuss how climate engineering will pose novel human rights challenges, and may well force reconsideration of how human rights are applied as a guide to action.
