Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage: From global potentials to domestic realities

2018

Think Tank Report

Edited by Mathias Fridahl

This book explores the role of BECCS in climate governance and brings together a range of policy-relevant perspectives from global modeling efforts, climate diplomats' views, and UN and European climate policymaking.

Direct Air Capture of Carbon Dioxide – ICEF Roadmap 2018

2018

Think Tank Report

David Sandalow, Julio Friedmann, Colin McCormick, Sean McCoy

This roadmap explores the potential for direct air capture of carbon dioxide to contribute to climate mitigation (and provide feedstock for commercial processes).

Evaluating climate geoengineering proposals in the context of the Paris Agreement temperature goals

2018

Scholarly Work

Mark G. Lawrence, Stefan Schäfer, Helene Muri, Vivian Scott, Andreas Oschlies, Naomi E. Vaughan, Olivier Boucher, Hauke Schmidt, Jim Haywood, Jürgen Scheffran

This paper assesses the degree to which proposed climate geoengineering techniques could contribute significantly to achieving the Paris Agreement temperature goals and the main open socio-political and governance issues and research needs.

Market-Level Implications of Regulating Forest Carbon Storage and Albedo for Climate Change Mitigation

2018

Scholarly Work

Aapo Rautiainen, Jussi Lintunen, Jussi Uusivuori

This paper explores the optimal regulation of forest carbon and albedo for climate change mitigation and posits that complementing a carbon pricing policy with albedo pricing reduces welfare losses from afforestation.

Knowledge gaps on climate-related geoengineering in relation to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)

2018

Think Tank Report

Carnegie Climate Geoengineering Governance Initiative (C2G2)

This technical briefing presents an assessment of knowledge gaps around ethics, governance, deployment and research related to geoengineering, including carbon removal technologies, and the Convention on Biological Diversity.

The politics of anticipation: the IPCC and the negative emissions technologies experience

2018

Scholarly Work

Silke Beck, Martin Mahony

This paper discusses what the changing relationship between science and politics means for the IPCC, using recent controversies over NETs as a window into the fraught politics of producing policy-relevant pathways and scenarios.

A New Security Framework for Geoengineering

2018

Scholarly Work

Elizabeth L. Chalecki, Lisa L. Ferrari

This paper argues that modifying just war theory into “just geoengineering theory” will provide ethical standards for security decision makers as they consider whether or how geoengineering should be used.

De facto governance: how authoritative assessments construct climate engineering as an object of governance

2018

Scholarly Work

Aarti Gupta, Ina Möller

This paper discusses how authoritative assessments, meaning expert-led, multi-author assessments produced by eminent scientific bodies, constitute a source of de facto governance and consequently shape the context for de jure types of governance.

A scenario process to inform Australian geoengineering policy

2018

Scholarly Work

Anita Talberg, Sebastian Thomas, John Wiseman

This paper reflects on an Australian geoengineering scenario project as a practical and innovative platform for informing governance.

Blurred Lines: The Ethics and Policy of Greenhouse Gas Removal at Scale

2018

Scholarly Work

Emily M. Cox, Nick Pidgeon, Elspeth Spence, Gareth Thomas

This paper proposes moving beyond classifying climate strategies as a set of discrete categories, toward a prioritization of questions of scale of both technology and decision-making in the examination of social and ethical risks.
