This chapter, from the book High Seas Governance, examines the legal framework for marine geoengineering, analyzing the extent to which the modern law of the sea has responded to the gaps and challenges in the current regulatory framework.
This Article develops mechanisms to address the systemic concerns, including technological lock-in, moral hazard, and global conflict, and the physical risks of geoengineering research.
This Note examines the international law that could govern geoengineering programs, with a focus on ocean iron fertilization and how international law must require that geoengineering be done on a multilateral scale.
This article explores the 2013 amendments to the London Protocol that regulate ocean fertilization and additional emerging marine geo-engineering activities.
This article explores new ways to regulate climate engineering research through a cumulative bottom-up governance approach that would rely on networks of regional treaties, agreements and resolutions rather than a sweeping international convention.
The article shows how regulating geoengineering activities, including ocean iron fertilization, through existing environmental protection regimes may lead to a governance and legal landscape that is fragmented, incoherent, and incomprehensive.
