Virtual Environmental Law Speakers Series: Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal Law

[Wil Burns]

 

 

I am participating in Mercer Law’s Virtual Environmental Law Guest Speakers series next week, focusing on potential international and domestic governance of marine-based carbon dioxide removal approaches to address climate change. The recorded lecture can be found below, and I will be answering questions all week. As many of you know, the IPCC’s 6^th Assessment report, in all three working groups, emphasizes the need for both far more aggressive decarbonization of the world economy and substantial amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide removal by the end of the century. One of the options that is being scrutinized in terms of the latter approach is the potential role of the oceans in sequestering more carbon that it already naturally does. However, these approaches are not without risk, and could impact the global commons and the interests of States other than those that deploy them. This presentation will focus on how such approaches are being regulated in the early stages of research, and other regimes that may be pertinent in the future. I hope that many of you will join us, as well as encourage your students to do so. wil
