Barometer Rising: The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety as a Model for Holistic International Regulation of Ocean Fertilization Projects and Other Forms of Geoengineering

2016

Scholarly Work

Matthew Hubbard

This note argues that there is a strong comparison between biotechnology and geoengineering, and that the current regulatory framework for biosafety can serve as a model for similar regulation of ocean fertilization.

Climate Engineering Under the Paris Agreement

2016

Think Tank Report

A. Neil Craik, William C.G. Burns

This report examines the specific provisions of the Paris Agreement with a view to identifying where legal and policy questions in relation to climate engineering are likely to arise.

Implications of the Paris Agreement for Carbon Dioxide Removal and Solar Geoengineering

2016

Scholarly Work

Joshua B. Horton, David W. Keith, Matthias Honneger

This report surveys the implications of the Paris Agreement for carbon dioxide removal (CDR).

The Paris Agreement and Climate Geoengineering Governance: The Need for a Human Rights-Based Component

2016

Scholarly Work

Wil Burns

This paper suggests that a human rights-based approach to climate geoengineering may address the intrinsic issues of equity and justice that would necessarily arise should the world community opt to proceed down the path of climate engineering.

BECCS Potential in Brazil: Achieving Negative Emissions in Ethanol and Electricity Production Based on Sugar Cane Bagasse and Other Residues

2016

Scholarly Work

José Roberto Moreira, Viviane Romeiro, Sabine Fuss, Florian Kraxner, Sérgio A. Pacca

This paper assesses the potential and cost effectiveness of negative emissions in the joint production system of ethanol and electricity based on sugar cane, bagasse, and other residues in Brazil.

Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage in Global Climate Policy: Examining the Issues

2016

Scholarly Work

Robert Amos

This article explores some of the legal challenges in developing the bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) industry, specifically the land-use implications, trade and economic issues and the broader environmental legal context.

Human Rights Dimensions of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage: A Framework for Climate Justice in the Realm of Climate Geoengineering

2016

Scholarly Work

Wil Burns

This chapter assesses the human rights implications of Bioenergy and Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) climate geoengineering options.

Farmer perceptions, policy and reforestation in Santa Catarina, Brazil

2016

Scholarly Work

A.C.D. Trevisan, A.L. Schmitt-Filho, J. Farley, A.C. Fantini, C. Longo

This article evaluates three policy options for promoting reforestation, paying particular attention to the impacts on farmer livelihoods and their intrinsic willingness to restore and preserve forest cover.

The ‘best available science’ to inform 1.5 °C policy choices

2016

News/Commentary

Glen Peters

This commentary identifies why an IPCC Special Report on 1.5 °C should focus on resolving fundamental scientific and political uncertainties, not fixate on developing unachievable mitigation pathways.

Geoengineering with seagrasses: is credit due where credit is given?

2016

Scholarly Work

Sophia C Johannessen, Robie W Macdonald

This article argues that geoengineering with seagrasses before reliable assessment methods have been established can result in overestimated carbon offsets that could lead to a net increase in emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
