Governing by expertise: the contested politics of (accounting for) land-based mitigation in a new climate agreement

2016

Scholarly Work

Kate Dooley, Aarti Gupta

This article analyzes the contested politics of including (and accounting for) land-based mitigation in a post-2020 climate agreement.

S.F. 2503 – Buffer Law 2015

2015

Enacted Legislation

State of Minnesota

This state law is designed to reduce agricultural runoff, but will also increase soil carbon sequestration on the newly planted strips of land abutting lakes and streams.

This initiative invites all partners to state or implement some practical actions on soil carbon storage and the type of practices to achieve this (e.g. agroecology, agroforestry, conservation agriculture, landscape management, etc.).

H.C.R. 8 – Concurrent Resolution on Carbon Sequestration on Rangelands

2015

Enacted Legislation

State of Utah

This resolution requests the President of the United States to direct Federal agencies managing land in Utah to develop specific plans to maximize the amount of carbon sequestered.

The International Legal Framework for Climate Engineering

2015

Scholarly Work

Jesse Reynolds

This paper describes international law which is applicable to climate engineering, with a focus on international environmental law, and provides recommendations for future developments.

Challenges in developing effective policy for soil carbon sequestration: perspectives on additionality, leakage, and permanence

2015

Scholarly Work

Tas Thamo, David J. Pannell

This paper aims to elucidate major issues around additionality, leakage, and permanence in the design of policy for sequestration of soil carbon, and to identify potential perverse outcomes and inefficiencies in some of the current policy approaches.

Governance and Equity in the Development and Deployment of Negative Emissions Technologies

2012

Scholarly Work

Duncan McLaren

This paper presents a summary of results of the global assessment of the negative emission technologies (NETs) undertaken by the author for Friends of the Earth in the UK, with a focus on identified environmental justice and governance issues.

Considerations of Justice in Assessment and Appraisal of Negative Emissions Technologies

2012

Scholarly Work

Duncan P. Mclaren

This paper identifies several justice implications arising from the potential moral hazard in the development of NETs, the distribution of geological storage for carbon dioxide, and the competition for biological productivity for negative emissions.

Impacts of Climate-Related Geoengineering on Biological Diversity

2012

Scientific Report

Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity

This study compiles and synthesizes available scientific information on the possible impacts of a range of geoengineering techniques on biodiversity, including preliminary information on associated social, economic and cultural considerations.

Regulatory Framework for Climate-Related Geoengineering Relevant to the Convention on Biological Diversity

2012

Scientific Report

Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity

This study describes the current regulatory and legal framework that may apply to climate-related geoengineering, and identifies the gaps in science based global, transparent and effective control and regulatory mechanisms.
