A scenario process to inform Australian geoengineering policy
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
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.
Geoengineering at the “Edge of the World”: Exploring perceptions of ocean fertilisation through the Haida Salmon Restoration Corporation
This paper uses the Haida Salmon Restoration Corporation's 2012 ocean fertilization experiment to report a novel situated study of public perceptions of geoengineering and present a broad geoengineering governance strategy.
Negative emissions—Part 1: Research landscape and synthesis
This paper, part 1 of a 3 part series on NETs, clarifies the role of NETs in climate change mitigation scenarios, their ethical implications, as well as the challenges involved in bringing the various NETs to the market and scaling them up in time.
Negative emissions—Part 2: Costs, potentials and side effects
This paper, part 2 of a 3 part series on negative emissions, presents estimates of costs, potentials, and side-effects for negative emission technologies.
Negative emissions—Part 3: Innovation and upscaling
This paper finds that if NETs are to be deployed at the levels required to meet 1.5 °C and 2 °C targets, then important post-R&D issues will need to be addressed, including incentives for early deployment, niche markets, scale-up, and demand.
Safeguarding Against Environmental Injustice: 1.5°C Scenarios, Negative Emissions, and Unintended Consequences
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.
Integrating carbon dioxide removal into EU climate policy: Prospects for a paradigm shift
This paper explores the political dimensions and policy implications of expectations for “negative emissions” in the European Union, and explores possible pathways for its limited introduction.
How Low Can We Go? The Implications of Delayed Ratcheting and Negative Emissions Technologies on Achieving Well Below 2 °C
This chapter considers the impacts of delaying ratcheting-up commitments until 2030 on global emissions trajectories towards 2 °C and 1.5 °C, and the role of offsets via negative emissions technologies.
Evaluating the use of biomass energy with carbon capture and storage in low emission scenarios
This paper looks into the detailed assumptions and results of a single Integrated Assessment Model (IAM), the IMAGE model framework, to learn more about the required implementation strategy of the default mitigation response using BECCS.
