This paper reviews the regulatory developments relating to transboundary carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) activities and regulation of ocean fertilization arising from the work and agreements under the London Protocol from 2010 to 2013.

The Emergence of the Geoengineering Debate Within the IPCC

2014

Scholarly Work

Arthur Petersen

This article looks at IPCC Assessment Reports to review how the IPCC has addressed geoengineering up to the Fifth Assessment Report in 2014.

Investigating afforestation and bioenergy CCS as climate change mitigation strategies

2014

Scholarly Work

Florian Humpenöder, Alexander Popp, Jan Philip Dietrich, David Klein, Hermann Lotze-Campen, Markus Bonsch, Benjamin Leon Bodirsky, Isabelle Weindl, Miodrag Stevanovic, Christoph Müller

This paper examines how different levels of a global tax on GHG emissions incentivizes afforestation and BECCS, finding that afforestation is a cost-efficient strategy at relatively low carbon prices, while BECCS becomes competitive at higher prices.

Climate Geoengineering and Dispute Settlement Under UNCLOS and the UNFCCC: Stormy Seas Ahead?

2014

Scholarly Work

Meinhard Doelle

Using the example of geoengineering, this paper considers how tensions between climate mitigation and management and conservation goals are likely to be addressed under the UNCLOS and UNFCCC regimes.
