Governing geoengineering research for the Great Barrier Reef

2019
Scholarly Work
Jan McDonald, Jeffrey McGee, Kerryn Brent, Wil Burns
this paper contends that while geoengineering options are worth exploring to protect the Great Barrier Reef from extreme warming conditions they require strong governance and public consultation from the outset.

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.

High Level Review of a Wide Range of Proposed Marine Geoengineering Techniques

2019
Scientific Report
Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection (GESAMP)
This report examines a wide range of marine geoengineering techniques to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and provides a comprehensive review of the international frameworks that govern these techniques.

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.

Normative issues of geoengineering technologies

2019
Scholarly Work
Clare Heyward
This chapter, from the book Managing Global Warming (2019), gives a brief overview of the emergence of the idea of negative emissions technologies in climate change policy and the normative issues—questions of values—that they might raise.

Engineered CO2 Removal, Climate Restoration, and Humility

2019
Scholarly Work
Julio Friedmann
This article lays out how using engineered CDR techniques to achieve net-zero will require substantial cooperation between groups of people who commonly do not work together, including technical experts, financiers, and government officials.
