Carbon Dioxide Removal Geoengineering
Using case studies of BECCS and ocean fertilization CDR techniques, this article examines the capacity of current Australian law to govern CDR research.
Governing Experimental Responses: Negative Emissions Technologies and Solar Climate Engineering
This chapter places the governance of climate engineering in a polycentric governance conceptual framework.
The Politics of Negative Emissions Technologies and Decarbonization in Rural Communities
This paper analyzes prospective challenges for negative emissions through examining how decarbonization practices are evolving in one particular landscape: the Imperial Valley in southeast California, a desert landscape engineered for agriculture.
The Challenge of Carbon Dioxide Removal for EU Policy-Making
This paper discusses the challenge that carbon dioxide removal presents to the European Union's low-carbon policy.
Governance of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): Accounting, Rewarding and the Paris Agreement
This paper focuses on governance aspects of BECCS with the aim to identify pragmatic ways forward for the technology.
Carbon Removal in Forests and Farms in the United States
The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential for carbon removal in forests and farms in the United States, to identify needs likely to arise on the pathway to large-scale deployment, and to consider ways to begin addressing those needs.
HB 2182 – Greenhouse Gas Sequestration Task Force
This bill establishes the Greenhouse Gas Sequestration Task Force to identify land use practices that would promote increased greenhouse gas sequestration and develop incentives and funding mechanisms for these practices.
Mind the Gap: Marine Geoengineering and the Law of the Sea
This chapter, from the book High Seas Governance, examines the legal framework for marine geoengineering, analyzing the extent to which the modern law of the sea has responded to the gaps and challenges in the current regulatory framework.
How Low Can We Go? The Implications of Delayed Ratcheting and Negative Emissions Technologies on Achieving Well Below 2 °C
This chapter considers the impacts of delaying ratcheting-up commitments until 2030 on global emissions trajectories towards 2 °C and 1.5 °C, and the role of offsets via negative emissions technologies.
‘Slippery slope’ or ‘uphill struggle’? Broadening out expert scenarios of climate engineering research and development
This article suggests that the governance challenges for climate engineering should be thought of as less of a slippery slope than an ‘uphill struggle’ and that there is a need for governance that incentivizes, rather than constrains, research.
