2012

Scholarly Work

Alice Larkin, Jaise Kuriakose, Maria Sharmina , Kevin Anderson

This article presents an alternative approach to consider what the Paris Agreement implies: if negative emission technologies (NETs) are unable to deliver more carbon sinks than sources.

Considerations of Justice in Assessment and Appraisal of Negative Emissions Technologies

2012

Scholarly Work

Duncan P. Mclaren

This paper identifies several justice implications arising from the potential moral hazard in the development of NETs, the distribution of geological storage for carbon dioxide, and the competition for biological productivity for negative emissions.
