Governing a Mirage? False Promises of Negative Emissions Technologies
This paper challenges the literature actively promoting negative emission technologies and argues that the risk of undermining ongoing mitigation efforts cannot be significantly reduced by governance design.
Negative Emissions: Priorities for Research and Policy Design
This report discusses the main technical, socio-economic and regulatory bottlenecks at a regional level, and provides direction for further research.
Beyond “Net-Zero”: A Case for Separate Targets for Emissions Reduction and Negative Emissions
This policy brief outlines a proposal for formal separation of negative emissions targets and accounting from emissions reduction.
Governance of Marine Geoengineering
This report surveys the different types of marine geoengineering proposals that have appeared in the scientific literature and the few that have been the subject of field testing and analyzes the various rules of applicable international law.
Carbon Dioxide Removal After Paris
This article explores key issues of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) governance, such as promoting the generation of information, mainstreaming CDR into public and policy discussions, and furthering CDR development while avoiding lock-in of technology.
Transnational Legal Processes, the EU and RED II: Strengthening the Global Governance of Bioenergy
This paper argues that the emergence of a transnational legal process that strengthens the sustainable production of biomass, balances the benefits of BECCS with the negative social and environmental externalities associated with biomass production.
