McLaren, Duncan; Corry, Olaf (2021): The politics and governance of research into solar geoengineering

McLaren, Duncan; Corry, Olaf (2021): The politics and governance of research into solar geoengineering. In Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change. DOI: 10.1002/wcc.707.

„This review outlines ways in which research conditions or constructs solar geoengineering in diverse ways, including the forms of possible material technologies of solar geoengineering; the criteria and targets for their assessment; the scenarios in which they might be deployed; the publics which may support or oppose them; their political implications for other climate responses, and the international relations, governance mechanisms, and configurations of power that are presumed in order to regulate them.“

Fridahl, Mathias; et al. (2020): Mapping Multi-Level Policy Incentives for Bioenergy With Carbon Capture and Storage in Sweden

Fridahl, Mathias; Bellamy, Rob; Hansson, Anders; Haikola, Simon (2020): Mapping Multi-Level Policy Incentives for Bioenergy With Carbon Capture and Storage in Sweden. In Front. Clim. 2. DOI: 10.3389/fclim.2020.604787.

„The paper asks to what extent and how existing UN, EU, and Swedish climate policy instruments incentivize BECCS research, development, demonstration, and deployment in Sweden. The analysis is followed by a tentative discussion of needs for policy reform to improve the effectiveness of climate policy in delivering BECCS.“

Kessler, Juliana (2019): Novel non-state sources of de facto governance in the solar geoengineering governance landscape: The case of SRMGI and C2G

Kessler, Juliana (2019): Novel non-state sources of de facto governance in the solar geoengineering governance landscape: The case of SRMGI and C2G. MSc Thesis Environmental Policy Group. Wageningen University [&] Research, Wageningen.

„Calls for anticipatory governance have been on the rise in discussions on solar geoengineering. Two influential governance initiatives, the Solar Radiation Management Governance Initiative (SRMGI) and the Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G), intervene in and steer the solar geoengineering governance landscape, thus de facto governing it. This research analyses the governance initiatives’ interventions and governance effects as it is argued that their steering has major implications, also for how (future) governance options are envisioned and constructed.“

Call for Abstracts: Unravelling the “Net” in Climate and Biodiversity Policy Frameworks

Deadline: 14. November 2020

„In this session we would like to explore the emergent theoretical and empirical opportunities for comparisons across both frameworks which have until now remained relatively siloed in geographical scholarship. The year 2021 will see both the postponed UN’s Framework Convention on Climate Change CoP 26[nbsp] and Convention for Biological Diversity CoP 15 where ‘net’ principles in climate, biodiversity and ecosystem governance frameworks will most likely be strengthened and renewed.“

Bodansky, Daniel; Biniaz, Susan (2020): Climate Intervention: The Case for Research. Center for Climate and Energy Solutions [&] SilverLining.

„This paper argues that there is an urgent need for research on climate intervention as a potential means of addressing abrupt change, and counters common objections. It argues that research would (1) improve our understanding of the likelihood of abrupt changes and our ability to respond safely and effectively; (2) supply governments, stakeholders, and the public with the information needed to assess and make evidence-based decisions about climate interventions; (3) help address the risks of climate change for future generations and for vulnerable countries, especially those without resources to adapt; and (4) reduce the risk of geopolitical tensions over climate interventions due to uncertainties and mistakes.“
