Third Annual Carbon Dioxide Removal Law & Policy Conference, Carbon Removal 
Deployment: Law and Policy from Planning to Project

The Institute for Carbon Removal Law & Policy at American University is pleased 
to announce the convening of the Third Annual Carbon Dioxide Removal Law & 
Policy conference on September 26, 2023. This year’s conference will be 
conducted in a hybrid format, with the onsite venue at American University’s 
Washington College of Law in Washington, DC. All sessions will also be streamed 
online.

Carbon dioxide removal developments have been unfolding at a lightning pace in 
the past few years, with the field rapidly emerging from the largely notional 
to a stage where it’s poised to begin making a substantive contribution to 
battling climate change. This year’s conference theme, Carbon Removal 
Deployment: Law and Policy from Planning to Project, seeks to capture the stage 
where we find ourselves in the context of the roles of law and policy in the 
field.

The purpose of this message is two-fold:


  *   As a “Save the Date” for the conference. If you wish to be placed on our 
mailing list, please contact me. We expect that our registration platform will 
be operational by mid-July;
  *   As a call for speakers for the four panels that we’ve developed for the 
conference:
 *   The Legal and Policy Landscape for Biochar
 *   The Role of International Treaty Regimes in Regulating Carbon Dioxide 
Removal Research and Deployment
 *   The Role of Non-Governmental Certification Programs in Carbon Dioxide 
Removal
 *   The emerging U.S. regulatory landscape for carbon dioxide removal
If you are interested in speaking at the conference, please submit an abstract 
to my attention by July 21 (preference is for early submissions), to 
wbu...@american.edu. We anticipate making decisions by July 30. Anyone slotted 
for a presentation will receive a registration fee waiver. Please don’t 
hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss potential topics also.

[gep-ed] Earth System Governance journal attains impact factor of 5.6; JCI rank: #5/159 in International Relations

2023-07-04 Thread 'Biermann, F.H.B. (Frank)' via gep-ed 

Dear GEP-ED colleagues,

I am writing to share that the Earth System Governance journal, established in 
2018 as an open-access outlet for research on governance and institutions in 
the context of environmental change and earth system transformations, has 
achieved a significant milestone last week: we have received our first Impact 
Factor, with a score of 5.6.
By that, the Earth System Governance journal has attained the status of a 
top-tier journal (Q1) in the Journal Citation Indicator ranking, in the fields 
of Environmental Studies (#5 out of 176 journals), International Relations (#5 
out of 159), Political Science (#10 out of 315), and Public Administration (#3 
out of 89).
Many thanks to the wonderful editorial team whose efforts have been 
instrumental in shaping the journal since its launch at the 2018 Utrecht 
Conference on Earth System Governance, as well as to the many authors, special 
issue coordinators, editorial board members, reviewers, and readers who have 
made invaluable contributions. This impact factor should serve as a solid base 
upon which earth system governance research can continue to develop and thrive.
As we celebrate this occasion, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering 
impactful scholarship and facilitating meaningful discussions on earth system 
governance processes and institutions at all levels of decision-making, from 
local to global. The Earth System Governance journal looks forward to 
continuing its journey, collaborating with researchers and practitioners 
worldwide, to advance understanding, knowledge and reach in our field.

With best regards, on behalf of the entire editorial team,

Frank Biermann
Editor-in-Chief, Earth System Governance
