CBD (2016): Update on Climate Geoengineering in Relation to the Convention on Biological Diveristy. Potential Impacts and Regulatory Framework

CBD (2016): Update on Climate Geoengineering in Relation to the Convention on Biological Diveristy. Potential Impacts and Regulatory Framework. Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD Technical Series, 84).

„The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) has published a detailed assessment of the implications of using climate geoengineering to limit global warming. Approaches considered include the large-scale removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, as assumed in nearly all climate models that limit the increase in mean global temperature to below 2°C.
“A rapid transition to a low-carbon economy is the priority to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and in turn reduce the adverse impacts of climate change, including impacts on biodiversity,” said CBD Executive Secretary, Braulio Ferreira de Souza Dias, in the foreword of the new report.“
