Parson, Edward A.; Ernst, Lia N. (2013): International Governance of Climate Engineering

Parson, Edward A.; Ernst, Lia N. (2013): International Governance of Climate Engineering. In: Theoretical Inquiries in Law 14 (1). DOI 10.1515/til-2013-015

"We advance preliminary suggestions to address two priority areas for early investigation: how international cooperation on early CE research can help develop shared norms that can grow robust enough to support future decision needs; and how early research and development on CE can be made to complement and encourage, rather than undermine, parallel efforts to reduce climate risks by cutting emissions."

Ricke, Katharine L.; et al. (2013): Strategic incentives for climate geoengineering coalitions to exclude broad participation

Ricke, Katharine L.; Moreno-Cruz, Juan B.; Caldeira, Ken (2013): Strategic incentives for climate geoengineering coalitions to exclude broad participation. In: Environ. Res. Lett. 8 (1), pp. 14021.

Game-theoretical modeling of CE wins/losses. "Climate model simulations project a diversity of regional outcomes that vary with the amount of solar geoengineering deployed. It is unlikely that a single small actor could implement and sustain global-scale geoengineering that harms much of the world without intervention from harmed world powers."

Abelkop, Adam D. K.; Carlson, Jonathan C. (2012): Reining in Phaëthon’s Chariot: Principles for the Governance of Geoengineering

Abelkop, Adam D. K.; Carlson, Jonathan C. (2012): Reining in Phaëthon’s Chariot: Principles for the Governance of Geoengineering. In: University of Iowa - Legal Studies Research Paper 21 (27), pp. 101–145.

"This paper argues that there is an urgent need for the international community to establish a governance framework to control geoengineering experimentation and implementation. All proposals currently under discussion are likely to have some adverse, possibly severe, impacts on ecosystems or climate"
