ICRLP: Meeting Report: How to Talk About Carbon Removal: A Communications Workshop

"On September 18-19, 2019, the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy (ICRLP) hosted a meeting titled “How to Talk About Carbon Removal.” The meeting was intended to facilitate a dialogue between stakeholders working on carbon removal and to provide a space to discuss strategies for improved communication of the topic. The outcomes of the meeting are informing an in-progress ICRLP report, being prepared by communications scholar Matthew Nisbet of Northeastern University, on carbon removal communication." LINK

Winsberg, E. (2019): A modest defense of geoengineering research

Winsberg, Eric (2019): A modest defense of geoengineering research. [Preprint]. "This paper examines the ethics of geoengineering research--particular research regarding solar radiation management using stratospheric aerosols. It takes a broadly consequentialist approach. The goal is to estimate the expected utility of conducting the research itself." LINK

C2G: Technical Brief: Considering climate-altering technologies in the IPCC AR6

"The Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-AR6), currently in preparation, will play a key role in the formation of future climate change policy. This brief identifies where climate-altering technologies: Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) will be considered for inclusion in the Assessment. It also identifies where opportunities exist for the inclusion of further contributions about CDR, SRM and their governance, before the deadline for literature review in June 2020." LINK
