Hope, Mat (2015): Impact assessment. Geoengineering challenges

Hope, Mat (2015): Impact assessment. Geoengineering challenges. In Nature Climate change 5 (12), p.[nbsp]1027. DOI: 10.1038/nclimate2886[nbsp]

„Geoengineering is moving from modelling to field experiments, with potentially significant environmental, social and ethical impacts. Impact assessments are normally undertaken to determine the risks of such activities. But new research suggests international law is currently insufficiently tailored to the particular assessment challenges posed by geoengineering“

Cao, Long; et al. (2015): Geoengineering. Basic science and ongoing research efforts in China

Cao, Long; Gao, Chao-Chao; Zhao, Li-Yun (2015): Geoengineering. Basic science and ongoing research efforts in China. In Advances in Climate Change Research. DOI: 10.1016/j.accre.2015.11.002

„Next, we introduce an ongoing geoengineering research project in China that is supported by National Key Basic Research Program. This research project, being the first coordinated geoengineering research program in China, will systematically investigate the physical mechanisms, climate impacts, and risk and governance of a few targeted geoengineering schemes. It is expected that this research program will help us gain a deep understanding of the physical science underlying geoengineering schemes and the impacts of geoengineering on global climate, in particular, on the Asia monsoon region.“

New York Times: Iowa’s Climate-Change Wisdom

On bio-CDR in soil. „Despite the fact that the United Nations General Assembly declared 2015 to be “the international year of soils,” a global soil carbon sequestration campaign — one that recognizes direct links between climate mitigation, regenerative agriculture and food security — rarely ranks at the top of any high level accords, or even conversations.“

The Suburban: Geoengineering examines the possibility of intentionally altering our global climate

„With every plan for geoengineering the idea can be picked apart and we can theorize as to the positive or negative repercussions. On the whole the risk is that geoengineering is totally untested, but more worrisome still untestable. As we only have the earth as a model we cannot test the theories of geoengineering without full planetary deployment.“

Zhe, Liu; Ying, Chen (2015): Impacts, risks, and governance of climate engineering. In Advances in Climate Change Research. DOI: 10.1016/j.accre.2015.10.004[nbsp]

„This manuscript provides an overview of several aspects of climate engineering, including its definition, its potential impacts and risk, and its governance status. The overall conclusion is that China is not yet ready to implement climate engineering.“
