The Role of Bioenergy and Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) in the Case of Delayed Climate Policy – Insights from Cost-Risk Analysis
This study, using a cost-risk analysis approach, evaluates the impact of BECCS in light of a delayed climate policy.
The political economy of negative emissions technologies: consequences for international policy design
This paper sees the market mechanism under Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement – colloquially called ‘Sustainable Development Mechanism’ – as a possible cornerstone policy instrument to incentivize NET activities at a global scale.
The Need for Governance of Climate Geoengineering
This article, part of the literature accompanying the launch of the Carnegie Climate Geoengineering Governance Initiative, argues that policymakers need to take an ethical risk management approach to the governance of geoengineering.
Geoengineering the oceans: an emerging frontier in international climate change governance
This article draws on discussions from the 2016 Marine Geoengineering Symposium to highlight prominent marine geoengineering proposals and raise questions about the readiness of the international law system to govern its research and implementation.
How scientists advising the European Commission on research priorities view climate engineering proposals
This study explores how scientists who advise the European Commission on research funding priorities regarding climate change and sustainability view climate engineering.
Geoengineering governance-by-default: an earth system governance perspective
This paper finds that geoengineering is subject to a form of ‘governance-by-default’ due to a situation in which state actors have not resolved the tension between two legal norms: that of ‘precaution’ and that of ‘harm minimisation’.
The road to achieving the long-term Paris targets: energy transition and the role of direct air capture
This paper evaluates the potential role of direct air capture (DAC) in achieving the Paris Agreement temperature targets, as well as the resultant impact on policy costs and global energy consumption.
