Governing Large-Scale Carbon Dioxide Removal: Are We Ready?
This report focuses on the governance mechanisms in place that can begin to address CDR at the necessary scale as well as what governance gaps remain to deploy CDR at scale.
The Opportunities to Promote Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
This report aims to illustrate and explain how the various UNFCCC 'vehicles' are linked and how they individually and collectively can be used to support CCS while simultaneously enhancing climate mitigation outcomes.
Human Rights Dimensions of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage: A Framework for Climate Justice in the Realm of Climate Geoengineering
