Upcoming Developments in International Governance of Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal

Law Columbia

The next week has the potential to bring important developments for international governance of marine carbon dioxide removal (CDR). seaweed) for carbon storage. Some are land-based, while others use the ocean. In order to answer these questions, further research, including in-ocean research, is needed.

Net Zero/Not Zero

Real Climate

With empirical data and more and better modeling, it has become clear that, to first approximation, the eventual anthropogenic warming from carbon dioxide is tied to the cumulative emissions. This figure is from the AR6 SPM: The relationship between cumulative carbon emissions and temperature (SPM AR6).

The Evolving Legal Landscape for Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal

Law Columbia

The Sabin Center wrapped up Climate Week NYC last Friday with an event exploring the opportunities and challenges posed by ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR). As evidenced by the 150-plus people in attendance, ocean CDR is attracting growing attention as a possible climate change mitigation option.

The CO2 problem in six easy steps (2022 Update)

Real Climate

For some parts of the spectrum, the IR can be either absorbed by CO 2 or by water vapour or by clouds, but taking those overlaps into account we find that 50% of the greenhouse effect is from water vapour, 25% from clouds, and about 20% from CO 2 and the rest absorbed by ozone, aerosols, and other trace gases ( Schmidt et al, 2010 ).

An Update on the Evolving Legal Landscape for Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal: Key Outcomes of the October 2023 Meeting of the Parties to the London Convention and Protocol

Law Columbia

In a blog post last month, I wrote about the growing interest in ocean-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR), and the complex legal issues it raises. Much of the legal complexity surrounding ocean CDR stems from the fact that the ocean is a shared resource in which all countries, both coastal and landlocked, have an interest.

According to the report , average net annual human-caused GHG emissions were at their highest levels in human history between 2010 and 2019, with urban areas responsible for an increasing proportion of the emissions. The rate of emissions growth year on year slowed between 2010-2019 in comparison to the previous decade.

The Fifth National Climate Assessment: Implications for Agriculture

National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC)

Although carbon dioxide enrichment and warmer, wetter temperatures may increase forage growth, that is likely to be accompanied by a decrease in forage quality. Droughts are a particular challenge, as in Kansas where there were droughts in 56 of 156 months from 2010 to 2022. Increased wildfire will also accompany these changes.
