“Negative Emissions”: A Challenge for Climate Policy
This paper argues that it would be wise for the EU and Germany to proactively shape the debate around negative emissions technologies and increase funding for research and development into NETs.
Distinguishing morale hazard from moral hazard in geoengineering
This paper investigates the definitions and use of the term ‘moral hazard’, and the related (but significantly different) concept of ‘morale hazard’, in the context of geoengineering and in relevant law, economic and insurance literatures.
An overview of Italian participation in afforestation and reforestation projects under the Clean Development Mechanism
This paper investigates the Italian afforestation/reforestation projects under the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol.
Future Prospects for Climate Engineering within the EU Legal Order
This article explores the most significant legal parameters derived from European Union law from which a future climate engineering policy would have to arise.
Towards a Law of the Mammoth? Climate Engineering in Contemporary EU Environmental Law
This article places climate engineering in the broader context of environmental enhancement and argues that both European law and the environment itself require acknowledging and pursuing more conscious interventions in the "natural" world.
Tropical reforestation and climate change: beyond carbon
This article advocates a focus on “climate-smart reforestation,” defined as reforesting for climate change mitigation and adaptation, while ensuring that the direct and indirect impacts of climate change on reforestation are anticipated and minimized
Governing by expertise: the contested politics of (accounting for) land-based mitigation in a new climate agreement
This article analyzes the contested politics of including (and accounting for) land-based mitigation in a post-2020 climate agreement.
Liability and Compensation for Damage Resulting from CO2 Storage Sites
The goal of this article is to sketch how CCS liability rules could be developed, and to present a compensation mechanism that takes into account the particular difficulties arising with CCS, especially the long-tail risk of a potential CO2 release.
The Public Acceptance and Legal Issues of Carbon Capture and Storage Technology in Taiwan
This paper also offers insight into how Taiwan might implement a successful CCS program through an examination of the established legal regimes in the EU and other G8 member countries.
Preliminary Report on the Contribution of Aichi Biodiversity Targets to Land-Based Climate Mitigation
This report focuses on the interactions between land‐use options for climate change mitigation efforts, including BECCS, and the impact on biodiversity.
