Update on the London Protocol – Developments on Transboundary CCS and on Geoengineering

2014

Scholarly Work

Tim Dixon, Justine Garrett, Edward Kleverlaan

This paper reviews the regulatory developments relating to transboundary carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) activities and regulation of ocean fertilization arising from the work and agreements under the London Protocol from 2010 to 2013.

Climate Geoengineering and Dispute Settlement Under UNCLOS and the UNFCCC: Stormy Seas Ahead?

2014

Scholarly Work

Meinhard Doelle

Using the example of geoengineering, this paper considers how tensions between climate mitigation and management and conservation goals are likely to be addressed under the UNCLOS and UNFCCC regimes.

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.

Does Geoengineering Present a Moral Hazard?

2013

Scholarly Work

Albert C. Lin

This article examines the critical question of whether geoengineering presents a moral hazard by drawing on empirical studies of moral hazard and risk compensation and on the psychology literature of heuristics and cultural cognition.

A Matter of Scale: Regional Climate Engineering and the Shortfalls of Multinational Governance

2013

Scholarly Work

Tracy D. Hester

This article explores new ways to regulate climate engineering research through a cumulative bottom-up governance approach that would rely on networks of regional treaties, agreements and resolutions rather than a sweeping international convention.

Regulating Geoengineering in International Environmental Law

2013

Scholarly Work

Tuomas Kuokkanen , Yulia Yamineva

The article shows how regulating geoengineering activities, including ocean iron fertilization, through existing environmental protection regimes may lead to a governance and legal landscape that is fragmented, incoherent, and incomprehensive.
