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.

Impacts of Climate-Related Geoengineering on Biological Diversity

2012

Scientific Report

Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity

This study compiles and synthesizes available scientific information on the possible impacts of a range of geoengineering techniques on biodiversity, including preliminary information on associated social, economic and cultural considerations.

Regulatory Framework for Climate-Related Geoengineering Relevant to the Convention on Biological Diversity

2012

Scientific Report

Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity

This study describes the current regulatory and legal framework that may apply to climate-related geoengineering, and identifies the gaps in science based global, transparent and effective control and regulatory mechanisms.

A comparative global assessment of potential negative emissions technologies

2012

Scholarly Work

Duncan McLaren

This paper provides a global assessment of around 30 prospective NETs, drawing conclusions on how NETs will contribute to safe carbon budgets, the governance challenges of NETs, and the potential role of carbon markets.

IPCC Expert Meeting on Geoengineering

2011

Scientific Report

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

This meeting report summarizes discussions of three Working Groups to the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) on geoengineering, including carbon dioxide removal.

2010

Scientific Report

House of Commons Science and Technology Committee

This report, written in collaboration with the U.S. House of Representatives Science and Technology Committee, examines the need for the regulation of geoengineering activities and provides an outlines of future regulatory arrangements.

A Coordinated Strategy Could Focus Federal Geoengineering Research and Inform Governance Efforts

2010

Scientific Report

United States Government Accountability Office

This report examines the state of geoengineering science, federal involvement in geoengineering, the extent to which federal laws and international agreements apply to geoengineering, and any governance challenges around geoengineering activities.

Geoengineering, the Law of the Sea, and Climate Change

2009

Scholarly Work

Philomene Verlaan

This paper summarizes proposals for climate related geoengineering projects that involve or affect the ocean and reviews the applicable legally binding global instruments that seek to regulate these activities.
