The politics and governance of negative emissions technologies
This is the introductory editorial to the debut issue of Global Sustainability which compiled seven articles on the politics and governance of negative emission technologies.
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage: From global potentials to domestic realities
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
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
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
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)
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.
Grasslands may be more reliable carbon sinks than forests in California
This paper shows that California grasslands are a more resilient carbon sink than forests in response to 21st century changes in climate, with implications for designing climate-smart Cap and Trade offset policies.
The politics of anticipation: the IPCC and the negative emissions technologies experience
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
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
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.
