Reforming the EU approach to LULUCF and the climate policy framework
This paper focuses on the role of forests and other land use in the EU climate policy framework.
Ownership Models for Geological Sequestration: A Comparison of the Emergent Regulatory Models in Australia and the United States
This paper compares the Australian and U.S. models of geologic ownership for CCS, arguing that the Australian model of state ownership is preferable as it provides clarity, structure, and certainty for CCS markets.
The Emergence of the Geoengineering Debate Within the IPCC
This article looks at IPCC Assessment Reports to review how the IPCC has addressed geoengineering up to the Fifth Assessment Report in 2014.
On the Legal System Construction of Carbon Capture and Storage Technology
This article identifies legal pathways toward implementation of CCS technology in China.
A Green Herring: How Current Ocean Fertilization Regulation Distracts from Geoengineering Research
This article proposes that nations tackle the dangers posed by ocean fertilization experiments together with other geoengineering activities, in the context of combatting climate change.
Investigating afforestation and bioenergy CCS as climate change mitigation strategies
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.
Clean Coal Loan Guarantees and Tax Incentives: Issues in Brief
This Congressional Research Service report discusses certain federal financial incentive mechanisms for “clean coal” commercial projects; namely, loan guarantees and tax incentives.
California Air Resources Board Compliance Offset Protocol U.S. Forest Projects
The Compliance Offset Protocol U.S. Forest Projects (Forest Offset Protocol) provides requirements and methods for quantifying the net climate benefits of activities that sequester carbon on forestland.
Climate Geoengineering and Dispute Settlement Under UNCLOS and the UNFCCC: Stormy Seas Ahead?
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.
Legal Liability and Carbon Capture and Storage: A Comparative Perspective
The report is intended to highlight key themes that have emerged in thinking about the design of appropriate legal liability regimes for CCS, and uses as core examples for comparison three jurisdictions - Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
