The Application of Biochar in the EU: Challenges and Opportunities

2013

Scholarly Work

Luca Montanarella, Emanuele Lugato

This paper reviews existing scientific evidence from a European policy perspective and identifies research gaps for future comprehensive assessments of the policy, environmental, economic, and health implications of the systematic use of biochar.

Enhanced Chemical Weathering as a Geoengineering Strategy to Reduce Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide, Supply Nutrients, and Mitigate Ocean Acidification

2013

Scientific Report

Jens Hartmann, A. Joshua West, Phil Renforth, Peter Köhler, Christina L. De La Rocha, Dieter A. Wolf-Gladrow, Hans H. Dürr, Jürgen Scheffran

This scientific paper is an interdisciplinary review of enhanced weathering, the processes involved, and the applicability and risks of applying the method with a look at the legal framework for enhanced weathering.

International Law in the Anthropocene: Responding to the Geoengineering Challenge

2013

Scholarly Work

Karen N. Scott

This article critically assesses the regulatory regime currently being developed by the parties to the 1996 Protocol to the London Convention with respect to scientific research on ocean iron fertilization.

Regulating Ocean Fertilization under International Law: The Risks

2013

Scholarly Work

Karen N. Scott

This paper explores the regulatory regime for ocean fertilization under the dumping regime, which comprises the 1972 London Convention and 1996 Protocol.

Regulating Geoengineering Research through Domestic Environmental Protection Frameworks: Reflections on the Recent Canadian Ocean Fertilization Case

2013

Scholarly Work

Neil Craik, Jason Blackstock, Anna-Maria Hubert

This article considers the application of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) to a controversial ocean iron fertilization project off the coast of British Columbia.

A Prognosis, and Perhaps a Plan, for Geoengineering Governance

2013

Scholarly Work

Jane C. S. Long

This article argues that governments should plan to use collaboration on natural disasters as a vehicle for developing the institutional capacity to manage the global climate.

Engineering the Climate: Geoengineering as a Challenge to International Governance

2013

Scholarly Work

David A. Wirth

This essay examines the existing international governance structures to address geoengineering and concludes that they are inadequate to the task and makes recommendations for structural adaptations in international governance to address the problem.

Does Geoengineering Present a Moral Hazard?

2013

Scholarly Work

Albert C. Lin

This article examines the critical question of whether geoengineering presents a moral hazard by drawing on empirical studies of moral hazard and risk compensation and on the psychology literature of heuristics and cultural cognition.

Implementing the Precautionary Principle for Climate Engineering

2013

Scholarly Work

Elizabeth Tedsen , Gesa Homann

This article provides an overview of debate in how to apply the precautionary principle to climate engineering (in part carbon dioxide removal) and what the precautionary principle means in a climate engineering context.

A Matter of Scale: Regional Climate Engineering and the Shortfalls of Multinational Governance

2013

Scholarly Work

Tracy D. Hester

This article explores new ways to regulate climate engineering research through a cumulative bottom-up governance approach that would rely on networks of regional treaties, agreements and resolutions rather than a sweeping international convention.
