Röschel & Neumann (2023): Ocean-based negative emissions technologies: a governance framework review
Lina Röschel, Barbara Neumann IN: Frontiers in Marine Science, 10, https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2023.995130
This article links potential direct and indirect, intentional and unintentional impacts of eight ocean-based negative emissions technologies (ONETs) on the marine environment to the regulations and policy goals of international environmental agreements of the current global ocean governance regime. The results thereof outline a direct, implicit and indirect governance framework of ONETs. Hereby, a broader perspective of the concept of (global) ocean governance is adopted to outline a wider network that goes beyond the explicit regulation of ONETs within the realm of ocean governance. This first-order assessment derives gaps and challenges in the existing governance framework, as well as needs and opportunities for comprehensive governance of the technologies.
