Parson, Edward A. (2017): Starting the Dialogue on Climate Engineering Governance: A World Commission. Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) (Fixing Climate Governance Series Policy Brief, 8).
„The needed international dialogue on geoengineering governance will have broad international participation; engage high-level expertise in international policy and institutions; draw closely on parallel advances in scientific knowledge and technical capability, while keeping governance the central focus; and facilitate open, exploratory investigations of governance needs and potential responses, rather than pursue specific decisions, at least in initial stages. Present institutions are not well equipped to support these needs. A promising first step would be to establish a world commission on climate engineering or similar consultative body, with high-level political authorization, an appropriately broad mandate, adequate resources and wide participation.“
