Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques, or negative emission technologies (NETs), are a suite of natural and technological pathways to remove and sequester carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air. Unlike carbon capture and storage, these techniques remove CO₂ directly from the atmosphere or enhance natural carbon sinks.
This paper suggests that a human rights-based approach to climate geoengineering may address the intrinsic issues of equity and justice that would necessarily arise should the world community opt to proceed down the path of climate engineering.
This essay examines the existing international governance structures to address geoengineering and concludes that they are inadequate to the task and makes recommendations for structural adaptations in international governance to address the problem.

This study, prepared by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and presented to the CBD's Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice, addresses the legal and regulatory framework of geoengineering relevant to the CBD.

Provides a roadmap and resource for programs and initiatives that are designing protocols, metrics, or incentives to engage farmers and ranchers in large-scale efforts to enhance GHG mitigation on working agricultural land in the United States.
This article explores the role of industry in enabling Australia to move toward a less carbon intensive economy, with a closer look at industry's role in carbon capture and storage, afforestation and reforestation, and biochar technologies.
This Article examines how U.S. environmental laws might apply to climate engineering research and how the U.S. courts would review disputes over those projects.
This report discusses the permissibility of geoengineering under international law and whether international norms matter in the scheme of geoengineering governance.
The focus of this article is on overarching rules of international law that are common legal ground and might apply to all concepts under the heading "geoengineering," while exploring to what extent the ENMOD Convention could be useful as a reference
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.
