C2G Global Policy Special Issue Published

[anita nzeh]

Dear colleagues,

A special issue of the Global Policy journal edited by C2G’s Janos Pasztor and Nicholas Harrison is out now! The issue features insights on the governance of climate‐altering approaches with possible ways to address knowledge and governance gaps in future  https://www.globalpolicyjournal.com/journal-issue/special-issue-governing-climate-altering-approaches

Introduction

Introduction to the Special Issue: ‘Governing Climate‐altering Approaches’ - Janos Pasztor and Nicholas Harrison

Special Issue Articles

Splitting Climate Engineering Governance: How Problem Structure Shapes Institutional Design - Sikina Jinnah, David Morrow and Simon Nicholson

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation management (SRM) should be treated separately in global policy discussions. 

 

Clash of Geofutures and the Remaking of Planetary Order: Faultlines underlying Conflicts over Geoengineering Governance - Duncan McLaren and Olaf Corry

Decisions about the potential use of geoengineering should be based not only on evidence from scientific models, but also on our understanding of politics and social justice. 

Carbon‐dioxide Removal and Biodiversity: A Threat Identification Framework - Kate Dooley, Ellycia Harrould‐Kolieb and Anita Talberg

Researchers and policy makers need to learn which carbon dioxide removal approaches could safeguard biodiversity and protect the environment.

 

Managing Land‐based CDR: BECCS, Forests and Carbon Sequestration - Duncan Brack and Richard King

Governments urgently need policies to assess and scale up large-scale carbon dioxide removal to limit global warming - but in a way that does not undermine CO2 emissions cuts.  

 

Addressing power imbalances in biosequestration governance - Simone Lovera‐Bilderbeek and Souparna Lahiri

Can rights-based approaches address conflicts and power imbalance in carbon dioxide removal? 

 

Large‐Scale Carbon Dioxide Removal to Meet the 1.5°C Limit: Key Governance Gaps, Challenges and Priority Responses - M.J. Mace, Claire L. Fyson, Michiel Schaeffer and William L. Hare

Policy options exist which could address key governance gaps and challenges around Carbon Dioxide Removal. 

 

A Code of Conduct for Responsible Geoengineering Research - Anna‐Maria Hubert

A shared code of conduct could guide and promote responsible research into climate-altering approaches, based on existing laws and processes. 

 

Parametric Insurance for Solar Geoengineering: Insights from the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative - Joshua B. Horton, Penehuro Lefale and David Keith

Insurance linked to environmental indicators could address financial concerns about solar geoengineering liabilities (solar radiation modification (SRM)).  

 

Targeted Geoengineering: Local Interventions with Global Implications - John C. Moore, Ilona Mettiäinen, Michael Wolovick, Liyun Zhao, Rupert Gladstone, Ying Chen, Stefan Kirchner and Timo Koivurova

Theoretically, targeted geoengineering to protect the Arctic or Antarctic could be governed more easily than global geoengineering. 

 

Solar Radiation Modification ‐ A “Silver Bullet” Climate Policy for Populist and Authoritarian Regimes? - Axel Michaelowa

How can the international community prevent or ‘contain’ the threat of unilateral deployment of Solar Radiation Modification? 

 

Best,
