Prospects for a multi-stakeholder dialogue on climate engineering
In this paper lessons from the literature on multi-stakeholder dialogue (MSD) that are relevant to the debate on climate engineering are examined.
The politics and governance of negative emissions technologies
This is the introductory editorial to the debut issue of Global Sustainability which compiled seven articles on the politics and governance of negative emission technologies.
Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage: From global potentials to domestic realities
This book explores the role of BECCS in climate governance and brings together a range of policy-relevant perspectives from global modeling efforts, climate diplomats' views, and UN and European climate policymaking.
Direct Air Capture of Carbon Dioxide – ICEF Roadmap 2018
This roadmap explores the potential for direct air capture of carbon dioxide to contribute to climate mitigation (and provide feedstock for commercial processes).
Market-Level Implications of Regulating Forest Carbon Storage and Albedo for Climate Change Mitigation
This paper explores the optimal regulation of forest carbon and albedo for climate change mitigation and posits that complementing a carbon pricing policy with albedo pricing reduces welfare losses from afforestation.
Grasslands may be more reliable carbon sinks than forests in California
This paper shows that California grasslands are a more resilient carbon sink than forests in response to 21st century changes in climate, with implications for designing climate-smart Cap and Trade offset policies.
The politics of anticipation: the IPCC and the negative emissions technologies experience
This paper discusses what the changing relationship between science and politics means for the IPCC, using recent controversies over NETs as a window into the fraught politics of producing policy-relevant pathways and scenarios.
A New Security Framework for Geoengineering
This paper argues that modifying just war theory into “just geoengineering theory” will provide ethical standards for security decision makers as they consider whether or how geoengineering should be used.
De facto governance: how authoritative assessments construct climate engineering as an object of governance
This paper discusses how authoritative assessments, meaning expert-led, multi-author assessments produced by eminent scientific bodies, constitute a source of de facto governance and consequently shape the context for de jure types of governance.
A scenario process to inform Australian geoengineering policy
This paper reflects on an Australian geoengineering scenario project as a practical and innovative platform for informing governance.
