Scholarly Work

Duncan P. Mclaren, David P. Tyfield, Rebecca Willis, Bronislaw Szerszynski, Nils O. Markusson

This policy brief outlines a proposal for formal separation of negative emissions targets and accounting from emissions reduction.

Moral Conflicts of several “Green” terrestrial Negative Emission Technologies regarding the Human Right to Adequate Food – A Review

2019

Scholarly Work

Patrick Hohlwegler

This paper investigates whether BECCS, afforestation/reforestation, and enhanced weathering would cause moral conflicts regarding the human right to adequate food if implemented on a scale sufficient to limit global warming “to well below 2 C”.

Opportunities for Carbon Dioxide Removal Within the United States Department of Agriculture

2019

Scholarly Work

Rory Jacobson, Daniel L. Sanchez

This paper provides an assessment of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) existing programs and organizational structure, its capacity to support research and demonstration of CDR, and recommendations for expansion of these capabilities.

Global Resources Outlook 2019: Natural Resources for the Future We Want

2019

Scientific Report

United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)

UNEP's Global Resources Outlook highlights and supports climate policies to remove atmospheric carbon in its "Towards Sustainability" scenario, specifically policies targeted towards the deployment of BECCs, DAC, and reforestation activities.

Achievement of Paris climate goals unlikely due to time lags in the land system

2019

Scholarly Work

Calum Brown, Peter Alexander, Ian Holman, Almut Arneth, Mark Rounsevell

This paper suggests that improved recognition of different land-system policies and lags in land-system change is necessary to identify achievable mitigation actions and avoid excessively optimistic assumptions and consequent policy failures.
