We're interested in having lawyers, political scientists, and others involved 
in environmental governance participate (I'm a founding member of the hosting 
group), so please share this with those who  you think will be interested -



With support from the National Science Foundation, Rutgers University-New 
Brunswick's Department of Human Ecology and Rutgers Climate and Energy 
Institute are engaging in activities around sustainability and governance in 
the Anthropocene this year, with two upcoming events of potential interest.



This new initiative, funded from the NSF program on Centers for Research and 
Innovation in Science, the Environment and Society (CRISES), is focused on 
finding solutions grounded in insights from the social science for the 
unprecedented rate and magnitude of social and environmental changes in the 
Anthropocene. This will require innovations across knowledge systems, attention 
to coproduction of solutions with multiple stakeholders who are empowered to 
act, and advances in understanding desirable visions of the future and how to 
achieve them. The team is designing a future Center on Sustainability and 
Governance in the Anthropocene (C-SAGA) that focuses on innovative 
interdisciplinary social science research that develops and assesses needed new 
forms of environmental governance.



We have a launch symposium on May 7 that will feature three renowned social 
scientists addressing how to manage major challenges like climate change, food 
security, and biodiversity loss in the face of accelerating human pressure, 
increasing complexity, and persistent inequality. The day-long event will 
feature talks by Dr. Jennifer Clapp, Canada Research Chair & Professor, School 
of Environment, Resources and Sustainability, University of Waterloo, Canada; 
Dr. Ratana Chuenpagdee, Professor, Department of Geography, Memorial University 
of Newfoundland; and Dr. Meredith Gore, Associate Professor, Department of 
Geographical Sciences, University of Maryland College Park. We would welcome 
attendance in person or online; please register here by May 1 to 
attendhttps://rcei.rutgers.edu/event/sustainability-governance-in-the-anthropocene-a-symposium/



We are also running an inaugural summer school for early career Ph.D. students 
working on governance and sustainability here at Rutgers August 20-23. The goal 
of the Summer School is to increase the capacity of early-stage researchers to 
learn more about this field and the need for interdisciplinary scholarship and 
collaboration. During the workshop, we will bring together scholars from a 
range of disciplines in a small group setting to learn, exchange ideas, and 
build partnerships. Training on essential skills will be offered on topics 
suited to the applicants, and may include working in collaborative governance, 
science communication, social science methods, and grant and publication 
guidance. Faculty from across Rutgers working in the sustainability governance 
area will opportunities for career advice, mentorship, and networking. At the 
end of the workshop, the relationships built with other students will provide 
mutual support for the future. Additional information can be found here:

[gep-ed] New Report on the Terrain of Solar Radiation Management

2023-11-08 Thread Wil Burns
The Solar Geoengineering Ecosystem: Key Actors Across the Landscape of the 
Field, Wil Burns & Shuchi Talati (November 2023)
As more individuals and organizations start to engage in and learn about solar 
geoengineering (also known as solar radiation modification - SRM), it is 
challenging to know where to start. A collaborative effort between The Alliance 
for Just Deliberation on Solar Geoengineering and the Forum on Climate 
Engineering Assessment aims to provide a landscape assessment of the SRM field 
across different sectors, institutions, and geographies. This report provides 
an overview of who is in the space, what they have done, and what might come 
next.
We hope this can provide a useful foundation for understanding where the SRM 
ecosystem is for anyone new to the field as well as those trying to understand 
how it has evolved. We plan to update this report periodically.
The report can be accessed here:

About this Event:
Join the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and 
Policy<https://american.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aefcb76ff1d91744e5f20bb45=0c05b8b68c=67ccfe7f6f>
 for the next event in its webinar series, “Scrubbing the Skies: The Role of 
Carbon Dioxide Removal in Combating Climate Change.” The series focuses on 
scientific, technological, legal, political, and justice-focused issues 
associated with carbon dioxide removal, and is hosted by Wil Burns, Co-Director 
of the Institute for Carbon Removal and Policy.
In September of this year, the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) 
treaty under the United Nations Convention for the Law of the Sea was opened 
for signature. The treaty is slated to enter into force after sixty nations 
ratify it. Given the fact that many ocean-based carbon dioxide removal 
approaches will either be deployed in the open oceans or could have impacts in 
these areas, the BBNJ may prove to a key regulatory framework for the emerging 
industry. In this webinar, two researchers focused on the interface of the BBNJ 
and ocean CDR will join Simon Nicholson, Co-Chair of the Institute for Carbon 
Removal Law & Policy, in a roundtable discussion of the BBNJ’s potential future 
role in regulating ocean CDR approaches, as well how the BBNJ will interface 
with other pertinent ocean regimes. The discussion will be followed by a Q 
session with webinar attendees.

Potential Role of BBNJ Treaty in Ocean-Based CDR

About this Event:
Join the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and 
Policy<https://american.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aefcb76ff1d91744e5f20bb45=1eabe2b2b0=67ccfe7f6f>
 for the next event in its webinar series, “Scrubbing the Skies: The Role of 
Carbon Dioxide Removal in Combating Climate Change.” The series focuses on 
scientific, technological, legal, political, and justice-focused issues 
associated with carbon dioxide removal, and is hosted by Wil Burns, Co-Director 
of the Institute for Carbon Removal and Policy.
In September of this year, the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) 
treaty under the United Nations Convention for the Law of the Sea was opened 
for signature. The treaty is slated to enter into force after sixty nations 
ratify it. Given the fact that many ocean-based carbon dioxide removal 
approaches will either be deployed in the open oceans or could have impacts in 
these areas, the BBNJ may prove to a key regulatory framework for the emerging 
industry. In this webinar, two researchers focused on the interface of the BBNJ 
and ocean CDR will join Simon Nicholson, Co-Chair of the Institute for Carbon 
Removal Law & Policy, in a roundtable discussion of the BBNJ’s potential future 
role in regulating ocean CDR approaches, as well how the BBNJ will interface 
with other pertinent ocean regimes. The discussion will be followed by a Q 
session with webinar attendees.

[gep-ed] Third International Carbon Dioxide Removal Law & Policy Conference

2023-09-15 Thread Wil Burns

The Third Annual Carbon Dioxide Removal Law & Policy Conference will convene on 
Thursday, November 9, 2023 at the Washington College of Law at American 
University, in a hybrid format. The theme for this year's conference is ">From 
Proposals to Projects: The Emerging Carbon Removal Landscape in the US." The 
theme reflects the evolution of the CDR sector in the past few years from the 
largely notional, to a potentially very major player in helping the global 
community to confront climate change. The panels reflect this theme, focusing 
on critical foundational issues for the sector's growth over the course of the 
next few decades.

The agenda for the conference, as well as a link to registration can be found 
below. I hope that many of you can join us. Please pass this message on to 
others that also might be interested in the topic. Thanks, wil

[gep-ed] 3rd Annual Carbon Dioxide Removal Law & Policy Conference

2023-07-04 Thread Wil Burns
[A close-up of a sign  Description automatically generated with low confidence]


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.

The next episode of the Institute for Carbon Removal Law & Policy's Scrubbing 
the Skies webinar series will feature several members of the U.S. National 
Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's Carbon Dioxide Removal Task Force Panel. 
I will host an hour of discussion focused on NOAA's new white paper on CDR, 
which outlines the federal government's motivation for CDR work; NOAA's related 
mandates; and NOAA's key assets for supporting CDR research in multiple 
sectors. The panelists will also discuss NOAA's strategies to ensure that 
notions of equity and justice are incorporated into all of its programs in this 
context. The event is scheduled for next Tuesday (Dec. 20), at 1:00-2:00PM ET.

[gep-ed] Call for Papers: Negative Emissions Technologies

2022-10-28 Thread Wil Burns
I am serving as a guest advisor, along with two colleagues, on a new special 
journal collection focused on greenhouse gas removal. The collection will be 
published by the Taylor & Francis journal, Carbon Management. The deadline for 
manuscripts is April 30, 2023.

Here's the link to the call: 
https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/article_collections/carbon-management-greenhouse-gas-removal-recent-advancements-current-issues-and-the-way-forward/

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, or want to 
discuss a prospective proposal. We're defining the term "carbon management" 
capaciously, so if you're thinking about publishing in this field, and wish to 
have your article included in a cohesive collection, this could be a great 
publishing option.

Might you consider going virtual? If not, why not? I believe we have reached a 
point where the “luxury” of having folks travel thousands of miles to speak for 
15 minutes is self-indulgent from an environmental perspective for those of us

Subject: [gep-ed] Recommendations for Carbon-Offsetting Companies?

Dear colleagues,
I hope you are all doing well.

As much as we know that paying for a third party to offset our carbon emissions 
does not solve the bigger problem, sometimes it can be the least bad option. I 
am looking for companies that offer the service of carbon 
offsetting/neutralizing for a mid-size conference. Would any of you have 
suggestions of reliable, transparent, trustworthy companies, please?

As per the group's norms, I would appreciate recommendations be sent to me 
directly. I will compile all responses and share the list with the group later.

Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Miranda

A recent study, published in Nature, cautioned that deforestation and climate 
change, via increasing dry-season length and drought frequency, may have pushed 
the Amazon already close to a critical threshold of rainforest dieback, 
potentially triggering catastrophic runaway climate change.

But the 2022 “State of the World’s Forests” report, put out at the XV World 
Forestry Congress, also recognized that in the last decade overall 
deforestation rates globally have decreased and that the fight to protect our 
forests, the single largest nature-based solution and source of multiple 
benefits, can still be won - if we double down and radically scale up REDD+.

To further capacitate the REDD+ community, the UN-REDD Programme has 
synthesized its lessons learned, good practice and key recommendations from 
over 10 years working with partner countries and IPLCs into nine flagship 
briefs.

Happy reading!

[gep-ed] Upcoming Webinar on NAS Ocean CDR Study

2022-04-16 Thread Wil Burns
In the wake of the latest report of the IPCC emphasizing the importance of 
carbon dioxide removal (CDR) as a climate response measure, the next episode of 
our joint webinar series with American University will focus on ocean-based 
CDR.  I hope that many of you can join us. Pre-registration is required Wil

The Potential Role of Ocean-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal: The NAS Weighs In, 
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-potential-role-of-ocean-based-carbon-dioxide-removal-the-nas-weighs-in-registration-315672975367

April 21, 12:00-1:00 CDT


As the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report emphasizes, meeting the temperature goals 
of the Paris Agreement requires both rapid decarbonization of the global 
economy and large-scale deployment of carbon dioxide removal approaches. While 
terrestrial approaches, such as afforestation/reforestation, bioenergy and 
carbon capture with storage and direct air capture are expected to play a role, 
many researchers also see a role for the world's oceans, given the fact that 
they already serve as a sink for approximately a third of anthropogenic 
emissions, and might be able to sequester much more in the future. In 2021, the 
National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine released a report "A 
Research Strategy for Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal and Sequestration" which 
assesses what is currently known about the benefits, risks, and potential for 
responsible scale-up of six specific ocean-based CDR strategies. The Report 
looks at the research needed to advance understanding of those approaches and 
address knowledge gaps, It also includes an extensive discussion of potential 
governance mechanisms at both the international and domestic level, as well as 
mechanisms to ensure stakeholder engagement.



This webinar, co-hosted by the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy and 
the Environmental Policy & Culture Program at Northwestern University, will 
seek to provide an overview of the scientific, technological, legal and social 
elements of the study. Panelists will include both principals in the drafting 
of the report and reviewers.

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 6th 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.

Sarah Bloom Raskin withdraws her nomination to the Federal Reserve Board
Biden’s nominee had publicly encouraged measures to mitigate climate change, 
including a transition to cleaner energy, which triggered a backlash from 
America’s powerful oil, gas, and coal industries.

specially prioritizing applicants interested in innovative approaches to the 
process of removing CO2 from the atmosphere. The first climate cohort is 
tentatively scheduled for June 2 to August 12, 2022. Admitted applicants 
receive an $18,000 stipend to enable their participation.



Applications are due February 28, 2022.



To tackle the critical energy, environmental, and climate change issues we 
face, we need a combination of smart policy and innovative technology. This 
fellowship aims to arm climate technologists with the tools they need to make 
the most of their ideas through policy.

Please share your ideas and spread the word with your networks. Apply 
now<http://aspentechpolicyhub.org/climate/> through February 28, or help spread 
the word! Any questions or comments can be directed to

I’ve always been fascinated with this frequent response to challenges of SRM. 
The natural corollary seems to be that we’ve ravaged the planet with 
uncontrolled technological interventions that affect the global commons, yet 
the solution for some is more uncontrolled technological interventions that 
affect the global commons. wil

Here’s the result of the SCOPEX saga last year, an example of one country’s 
response to proposed SRM experimentation. Of course, as the piece points out, 
the response of the Harvard guys, is, essentially, “well, if one country 
rejects our experiment, let’s just stay a moving target.” It’s my hope that the 
new initiative will scupper efforts to do this in the United States also. wil

Thanks, Stacy.

Not trying to start an email BBQ on this list, but let me just say that the 
words used here are awfully close to those used by those most signatories would 
describe as solar geoengineering (research) "boosters." The subtle but 
all-important difference: e.g. Ted Parson and David Keith, in 2013, called 
for<https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.1232527> a "non-use" 
agreement (moratorium) on deployment, while specifically allowing for research.

And for research, of course, the all important distinction is whether it's e.g. 
permissible to study the implications of the Tonga volcano or whether even 
(small) outdoor experiments are permissible. Here e.g. from my just-published 
book, Geoengineering: the Gamble<http://www.gwagner.com/GtG> (Polity, 2021):

[cid:image002.png@01D80C6B.6E695360]

In contrast, this "Non-Use Agreement" here, of course, also includes (most) 
research.

All the best,

Dear GEP colleagues,

With more than 60 senior climate scientists and governance scholars from around 
the world, we have launched a global initiative<https://www.solargeoeng.org/> 
today calling for an International Non-use Agreement on Solar Geoengineering.
We argue that planetary-scale solar geoengineering deployment cannot be 
governed fairly and poses unacceptable risks if included as a future climate 
policy option. We are also deeply concerned about the risks that solar 
geoengineering development may pose to climate policy and decarbonization 
commitments.

We are now calling on fellow academics, civil society organizations and 
concerned individuals to sign an open 
letter<https://www.solargeoeng.org/non-use-agreement/open-letter/> to 
governments, the United Nations and other actors to stop development and the 
potential use of planetary scale geoengineering technologies.

This initiative draws on an article published in WIREs Climate

The Potential Role of Ocean-Based Carbon Removal Approaches
by Northwestern University, Environmental Policy and Culture 
Program<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-potential-role-of-ocean-based-carbon-removal-approaches-tickets-202429832077?keep_tld=1#listing-organizer>

This webinar will examine the potential role of ocean-based technologies and 
processes to help the global community combat climate change.
About this event
In the ensuing years after the entry into force of the Paris Agreement, it has 
become increasingly obvious that achievement of its temperature objectives will 
require both aggressive emissions reductions initiatives and large-scale 
deployment of carbon dioxide removal/negative emissions technologies to either 
avoid passing critical climatic thresholds. While much of the early research of 
carbon dioxide removal options focused on terrestrial approaches, there has 
been increasing attention to the potential role of the world's oceans given 
both sustainability considerations and the fact that oceans already serve as a 
huge carbon sink with much additional potential for storing carbon.
However, research in this context, as well as potential large-scale deployment 
of such options, also pose potentially substantial risks to marine 
environments. Moreover, there is likely to be substantial public backlash to 
research absent the existence of a sound regulatory framework for risk 
assessment, monitoring, and public deliberation.
This presentation will include the potential risks and benefits presented by 
difference ocean-based geoengineering options. It will also include a 
discussion of regulatory efforts to date by international treaty regimes, and 
other potentially pertinent regimes, including those with a marine regulatory 
focus, as well as the potential role of the UNFCCC/Paris Agreement. The 
overarching thesis will be that anticipatory governance could both optimize 
facilitation of research and minimize risks.

Carbon Dioxide Removal via BECCS in a Carbon-Neutral Europe
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/carbon-dioxide-removal-via-beccs-in-a-carbon-neutral-europe-tickets-168964933665


This webinar, hosted by the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy, will 
parse out key messages from a recent study in the journal Energy & 
Environmental Science, which sought to quantify the potential of Bioenergy and 
Carbon Capture with Storage (BECCS) in Europe: "Assessment of carbon dioxide 
removal via BECCS in a carbon neutral Europe."

The study seeks to assess the technical potential biogenic carbon dioxide 
removal in Europe through consideration of seven different BECCs configurations 
that do not draw upon purpose-grown bioenergy plantations. In this upcoming 
webinar, one of the study's authors will discuss these scenarios, including the 
need for continent-wide cooperation in terms of storage and transportation of 
biomass to optimize sequestration.

Why host a Live session?

  *   A chance to drive real impact from your research within and outside of 
the scientific community
  *   Researcher Live is a low-friction, low effort way for scientists and 
academics to recreate the connection and collaboration opportunities that have 
been lost to the pandemic with physical conferences being impossible to host - 
and without all of the admin effort that it takes to set up and attend a 
virtual conference.
  *   Our job is to make sure your Live session is promoted to Researcher users 
whose interests match your topic. We have a global community of 2m users - we 
want to give you the best chance to get your work presented to, and talked 
about by this great community.

Here are some examples of how scientists and researchers can  use Live to 
create engagement and widen the impact of their work:

  *   Present a recent paper published in a journal or as a pre-print
  *   Run a panel session or Q to discuss your broader work and research
  *   Give department introductions to prospective students or staff.

Researcher Live is easy to use and simple to host - and we can help you every 
step of the way. If you’d like to know more, just reply to this email or have a 
look at our 
FAQs<https://click.email.researcher-app.com/?qs=0cdc71a39570e24d09d2be4a71598a9c39e25d07c1439d61c116930b2a6e35050fd2722acb40b08dfe1c2284e050575a1a27386416e7b16d>.

[gep-ed] RE: [ESS Forum] Asynchronous, on-line negotiations exercises?

2021-07-26 Thread Wil Burns
Here’s a direct quote: “Personally, I have long believed that climate change, 
in the form of severe regional weather,
has been upon us for the last ten years so I find it counterproductive to have 
students deal
with "politics and policy to prevent climate change".

That strongly implies that one shouldn’t spend time on mitigation issues.

You might want to keep the snarky tone out of the email responses. We’re all 
aware of how drastic climate change is and how insufficient the response is. 
We’re all trying to work on this issue and teach students to take it seriously, 
and force governments to act. I don’t think he said he teaches with a “singular 
focus on adaptation.”

Professor Bothun is assuredly correct that climate change manifestations are 
upon us, and substantially more is “baked in” given the fact that models 
indicate that temperatures would rise an additional 0.8C even if we all crawled 
into caves today. Having said that, however, the policies and measures that we 
take to decarbonize the global economy, and our time schedule for doing so, 
will have a profound impact on whether we ultimately hold temperatures to 2-3C 
above pre-industrial levels, or end up in the RCP8.5 worst case scenario 
territory, with temperatures rising 4-5C. So, the focus here is not on 
“preventing climate change,” but rather “preventing the worst possible 
manifestations of climate change.”

Also, a singular focus on climate adaptation is likely to lead some students to 
believe that we can “live” with large amounts of climate change, which is much 
more the case for well-resourced nations such as the United States than most 
developing countries. For many countries in the South, full-throated mitigation 
policies by major emitters are critical, and I think it’s important in 
simulations to have students explore these options, and the equitable arguments 
for compelling more aggressive mitigation measures by the top 10 emitters.

Yes, the Bangladesh example is a quintessential example on why we need to train 
students to understand concepts beyond adaptation, including loss and damage 
concepts, e.g. mandatory re-settlement protocols and liability. These can also 
be built into simulations.

Building somewhat on that, I have also found students to be pretty engaged with 
the idea
that "climate change adaptation" is highly differential and mostly inequitable 
on a global scale, so
what should the world do to fund and sustain equitable adaptation?   When 
Bangladesh is under water (
(2065 is my prediction) due to storm surges - what will the world do then 
accommodate, by then,
about 200 million people?   Getting students to underscale scale, I think is 
important in this regard.

will have a profound impact on whether we ultimately hold temperatures to 2-3C 
above pre-industrial levels, or end up in the RCP8.5 worst case scenario 
territory, with temperatures rising 4-5C. So, the focus here is not on 
“preventing climate change,” but rather “preventing the worst possible 
manifestations of climate change.”

Also, a singular focus on climate adaptation is likely to lead some students to 
believe that we can “live” with large amounts of climate change, which is much 
more the case for well-resourced nations such as the United States than most 
developing countries. For many countries in the South, full-throated mitigation 
policies by major emitters are critical, and I think it’s important in 
simulations to have students explore these options, and the equitable arguments 
for compelling more aggressive mitigation measures by the top 10 emitters.

2021-07-26 Thread Wil Burns
I believe it’s a fundamental mistake to teach climate change in this fashion. 
Professor Bothun is assuredly correct that climate change manifestations are 
upon us, and substantially more is “baked in” given the fact that models 
indicate that temperatures would rise an additional 0.8C even if we all crawled 
into caves today. Having said that, however, the policies and measures that we 
take to decarbonize the global economy, and our time schedule for doing so, 
will have a profound impact on whether we ultimately hold temperatures to 2-3C 
above pre-industrial levels, or end up in the RCP8.5 worst case scenario 
territory, with temperatures rising 4-5C. So, the focus here is not on 
“preventing climate change,” but rather “preventing the worst possible 
manifestations of climate change.”

Subject: Re: [ESS Forum] Asynchronous, on-line negotiations exercises?

I have done similar exercises but have had the most success by having groups 
adopt countries and analyze

a) what the main effects of climate change will be on their country and how
might that impact GDP
b) what kinds of adaptations can be done to cope with these changes
c) what is a likely financial cost, in terms of fractional GDP

Personally, I have long believed that climate change, in the form of severe 
regional weather,
has been upon us for the last ten years so I find it counterproductive to have 
students deal
with "politics and policy to prevent climate change".  I find it more 
productive to have them focus on the issues of a) climate change is here, b) 
what kind of adaptation needs to occur, c) what
policies must come into place to make it significantly worse (it will get 
incrementally worse regardless of what we do now).

Hello everyone,

(Apologies for cross-posting)

I hope wherever you’re at in the year is treating you well. I am teaching an 
on-line and asynchronous summer course right now, and because why not, I have 
them doing a mock climate negotiation. There are only 40 students, they’ll be 
in groups of 10 (10 countries in each), and they have a complex, 4 article 
resolution to discuss. I’m a bit worried about the final part where they 
discuss and debate positions and try to come up with an agreement. But we can’t 
do anything live, it’ll carry on over 3-5 days as they add to discussion posts 
as and when they can. Has anyone tried this? Any tips on getting conversations 
started and keeping them going? Or apps you’ve used to facilitate these/keep 
discussions focused?

They are doing opening statements with zoom backgrounds from their assigned 
countries!

I’ve called it a climate “politics” exercise, not a “negotiations” one, as 
they’ll be reflecting as they go, and we don’t have time for the full-on, 
regular semester version. This is a 6 week course.

Happy to share what we collectively come up with,

Thanks!

Kate

[gep-ed] Upcoming Institute for Carbon Removal Law & Policy webinar on Net Zero Targets

2021-05-23 Thread Wil Burns
Please join us for our next webinar, at 10am CT on Wednesday, May 26. You must 
register in advance.

Net Zero Targets: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly


In March, The Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit and Oxford's Net Zero Program 
released a report, entitled "TAKING STOCK: A global assessment of net zero 
targets<https://eciu.net/analysis/reports/2021/taking-stock-assessment-net-zero-targets>."
 The report surveyed the climate pledges of 4000 major emitting entities, 
including nations, state, regional, and local governments, and all companies in 
the Forbes 2000 list, concluding that 19% of these entities already have net 
zero pledges in place. However, the study also concludes that the quality of 
these commitments, including in the case of the use of carbon offsets, is 
inadequate. This webinar will bring together several of the authors of this 
report to discuss the systemic problems with most net zero pledges, including 
in the context of carbon offsets (including those associated with greenhouse 
gas removal approaches) and their recommendations to expand, clarify and 
upgrade such pledges.

Panelists include:

Kate Cullen,<https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahkatherinecullen/> Net Zero Policy

Stephen Smith<https://www.smithschool.ox.ac.uk/people/ssmith.html>, Professor

The Global South in the Imagining of Climate Futures: A Conversation with Kim 
Stanley Robinson and Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò
About this Event

About this Event

The Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy (ICRLP) presents "The Global 
South in the Imagining of Climate Futures." Prolific science fiction writer Kim 
Stanley Robinson<https://us.macmillan.com/author/kimstanleyrobinson/> joins 
Olúfẹ́mi O. 
Táíwò<https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/003361ebL6LAAU/ol%C3%BAf%E1%BA%B9mi-t%C3%A1%C3%ADw%C3%B2>,
 ICRLP Research Fellow and Associate Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown 
University, in conversation about visioning climate futures that privilege the 
Global South.

Robinson's most recent book, The Ministry for the Future, tells the story of an 
organization in the near future tasked with addressing the threat of climate 
change and advocating for a livable world for future generations. The novel 
includes fictional eye-witness accounts, featuring perspectives from the Global 
South, not just as climate change sufferers but as political players and 
drivers of the narrative. Robinson will speak to the choices, challenges, and 
opportunities that he came across in his placing the Global South in the 
imagining of climate futures.

As a political philosopher who studies environmental justice, Táíwò thinks 
specifically about carbon removal and how to distribute responsibilities, 
burdens, and resources to address the climate crisis justly. The discussion 
will focus on where the South fits into our collective thinking about climate 
action and the role of carbon removal in those futures.

The conversation will be moderated by Kate 
O'Neill<https://ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/people/kate-o039neill>, Professor 
in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at UC 
Berkeley.

[gep-ed] Looking for class speakers

2021-01-09 Thread Wil Burns
Hello everyone,

I will be teaching my Climate Law & Policy course again this quarter at 
Northwestern, in the undergraduate Environmental Policy & Culture program. One 
of the few benefits of our online teaching environment has been the opportunity 
to bring in great speakers via Zoom in a way that feels a lot more natural than 
projecting them on a screen in a classroom. I'm writing to see if some of you 
might be game to speak. The course meets from 11.00-12.20pm CT on T-Th, 
beginning the second week of January, and extending through the middle of 
March. If I get a lot of takers, I might ask some of you to roll over to the 
next year, since I plan to continue to incorporate guest speakers into the 
course.

BTW, I'm willing to reciprocate if you need a speaker on a climate law or 
science, or international environmental law, topic in any of your courses.

Thanks everyone for your consideration, and Happy New Year! wil

Dear Colleagues,

Invitation to take part in a new research initiative on  SDG13 (Climate 
Action): The Climate Change and SDG 13 Academic Research and Publications 
Initiative (CC-SDG13-RPI)

On Monday, 1st February 2021, the Research and Transfer Centre "Sustainable 
Development and Climate Change Management"(FTZ-NK) 
https://www.haw-hamburg.de/en/ftz-nk/ and the International Climate Change 
Information and Research Programme (ICCIRP) 
https://www.haw-hamburg.de/en/ftz-nk/programmes/iccirp/ will launch a major 
effort to promote and disseminate the results of scholarly research on matters 
related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a focus on SDG13 
(Climate Action). Titled  "Climate Change and SDG 13 Academic Research and 
Publications Initiative" (CC-SDG13-RPI), it is aimed at filling in the gap on 
peer-reviewed
papers, written by international, interdisciplinary teams addressing SDG13, and 
published in high caliber journals. CC-SDG13-RPI complements the impulse 
provided by highly successful "Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation" (4 
volumes) https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783642386695, Handbook of Climate 
Change Communication (3 volumes) https://www.springer.com/de/book/9783319704784 
and "Handbook of Climate Change Resilience" (4 volumes)
https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319933351, which are comprehensive
editorial projects on climate change adaptation.

The FTZ-NK and ICCIRP teams will design the research and conceive the papers on 
SDG13 and will contact the colleagues who registered, with an invitation to 
join. Interested colleagues will be informed about the planned papers, their 
scope, and methods, and may reflect if they are able to join. Those who do, may 
provide specific contributions, and be listed as co-authors. Since the chosen 
journals will all be fully
indexed and with an impact factor, the time here is well invested. CC-SDG13-RPI 
represents a good opportunity for both, personal and professional development, 
and also serves the purposes of enlarging one´s international network of 
contacts. Participation at CC-SDG13-RPI entails no costs, but colleagues 
joining should be willing to invest the time needed in the team efforts to 
produce quality publications, which
will advance the state of knowledge on the links between climate change and 
sustainable development research.

Members of academic staff from across all areas (e.g. social science, natural 
sciences, engineering, etc) interested to join this unique effort, should 
contact the ICCIRP team at i...@iccip.net<mailto:i...@iccip.net>, with the 
following details:

Name and Surname:

Post:

Main areas of interest within SDG13 (please name up to 3 areas within
SDG13, you are interested to undertake research on):

Organization:

Country:

E-mail:

The deadline for registration is 20th January 2021.

The FTZ-NK and ICCIRP Teams (contact: i...@iccip.net<mailto:i...@iccip.net>)

About this Event

Join the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy for a discussion with 
Romany Webb<https://climate.law.columbia.edu/directory/romany-m-webb>, Senior 
Fellow at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, on her new paper "The Law of 
Enhanced Weathering for Carbon Dioxide 
Removal."<https://climate.law.columbia.edu/sites/default/files/content/Webb%20-%20The%20Law%20of%20Enhanced%20Weathering%20for%20CO2%20Removal%20-%20Sept.%202020.pdf>

Ms. Webb will give a brief presentation on enhanced weathering on land and in 
oceans and the laws that could, or should, govern it, followed by discussion 
and questions from the audience.

Brief Paper Summary:

"The Law of Enhanced Weathering for Carbon Dioxide Removal, by Romany Webb, 
provides a comprehensive analysis of legal issues associated with the 
performance of enhanced weathering on land and in the oceans. As the paper 
explains, there are currently no international or U.S. laws dealing 
specifically with enhanced weathering, but projects could be subject to various 
existing general environmental and other laws. The paper surveys potentially 
applicable existing laws and identifies areas where new laws could be adopted, 
or existing ones revised, to reduce uncertainty and facilitate the development 
of enhanced weathering projects."

Discussion will be moderated by Wil 
Burns<https://www.american.edu/sis/centers/carbon-removal/about.cfm>, 
Co-Director of the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy.

Subject: [CDR] Launch of new open-access journal across all disciplines in 
climate change research

Dear all

I am happy to announce that Oxford University Press has launched the new 
open-access journal Oxford Open Climate Change<https://academic.oup.com/oocc>, 
which spans all disciplines in climate change research, including potential 
solutions. I am the founding Editor in Chief of this journal, and although we 
are still finalising the Associate Editor list and Editorial Board, I look 
forward to exciting contributions, which can be submitted as of today.


Please share this message through you networks, so we can create optimum 
awareness!
The press release is copied below:
Oxford Open Climate Change is a wide-reaching interdisciplinary journal that 
aims to cover all aspects of climate change. It welcomes submissions on the 
physical and biogeochemical aspects of climate change, its social impact and 
response assessments, its economic, health, politics, and governance impacts, 
and possible natural or technical solutions. In taking this broad approach, the 
journal aims to remove siloes from the research on climate change and 
disseminate findings across traditional fields to support the work of global 
scholars in tackling the climate crisis.
Editor in Chief, Professor Eelco Rohling of Australian National University and 
Southampton University, explained more about the journal’s publishing policies, 
‘First and foremost, Oxford Open Climate Change is underpinned by a commitment 
to open research – it is a fully open access journal with clear policies on 
open data to encourage research re-use and reproducibility. We will publish 
both invited contributions and those submitted speculatively, as well as 
special issues that consider key challenges from a wide range of disciplines. 
All content will undergo rigorous peer review.’
Rhodri Jackson, Publishing Director for Open Access at OUP, said, ‘The launch 
of Oxford Open Climate Change is another significant milestone on our journey 
towards a more open world for our academic publishing. As the largest 
university press publisher of open access content, I’m pleased that we have 
been able to launch such an innovative, interdisciplinary journal as part of 
the Oxford Open series, covering such an important subject for the future of 
the world as we know it’.
Oxford Open Climate Change is the third title in the Oxford Open series which 
launched in May 2020 with Oxford Open Immunology<https://academic.oup.com/ooim> 
and Oxford Open Materials Science<https://academic.oup.com/ooms>. The series 
aims to offer quality outlets for cutting edge, fully open access research in a 
wide range of subject areas, supported by the world’s largest university press. 
Under editorial leadership from across the globe, the series facilitates 
greater openness in all aspects of research dissemination.
For more information or to submit a paper, please visit the Oxford Open Climate 
Change website<https://academic.oup.com/oocc>.

Antacids for the Sea? Artificial Ocean Alkalinization and Climate Change
Wil Burns
Charles R. Corbett

DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oneear.2020.07.016

There is increasing urgency for large-scale deployment of carbon-removal 
approaches to help avoid passing critical climatic thresholds. Given the severe 
risks of many terrestrial methods at extremely large scales, there is a 
compelling need to also assess the potential of marine negative-emissions 
technologies, such as artificial ocean alkalinization

 Conclusion
AOA could play a role as one of many approaches to annually remove billions of 
tons of atmospheric CO2. But, as is true with many other CDR strategies, it 
remains poorly understood and underdeveloped. Governments and research 
institutions should dedicate more resources to assess AOA’s potential benefits, 
risks, and governance. Given the implications of unchecked climate change, they 
should act quickly to do so, and advocates should keep the pressure on until 
they do.

[gep-ed] RE: corporate climate commitments

2020-06-27 Thread Wil Burns
For those you interested in commitments to “carbon negative” or “carbon 
neutral” corporate commitments that have a negative emissions technologies 
component, we have constructed a new tracker: 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vf--uXsf6fo7MuNpPya2Kz82Dxte0hHgtOXimgpRA3c/edit#gid=0

We will update the tracker on a regular basis and always welcome suggestions of 
additional corporations to add.  We also plan to develop metrics to assess the 
integrity of said claims.

Hello friends:

Here are some recent commentaries on business attempts at climate leadership. 
For example, 
Amazon<https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=amazon=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6682691269657030656>
 announced its latest climate investment, the purchase of the right to rename 
Seattle's Key Arena as the Climate Pledge Arena. The arena renaming 
announcement comes at an interesting time. Early this week, Amazon released its 
2020 Sustainability 
Report<https://www.forbes.com/sites/prakashdolsak/2020/06/24/amazons-2019-sustainability-report-some-progress-but-critical-challenges-remain/#45d0e9ef6254>,
 where it noted a 15% increase in emissions since last year. Moreover, Amazon 
is getting bad press on COVID-19 and the firing of some employees affiliated 
with Amazon Employees for Climate Justice. So, what to make of Amazon's 
renaming exercise?

game-changer?.<https://www.forbes.com/sites/prakashdolsak/2020/06/26/amazons-climate-pledge-arena-virtue-signaling-or-a-game-changer/#4e018d8d53f6>

[gep-ed] ICRLP Speakers Bureau

2020-06-05 Thread Wil Burns
The discussion of the potentially critical role of carbon dioxide 
removal/negative emissions technologies in the portfolio of responses to 
climate change has increased rapidly in the past few years with the release of 
the IPCC’s 1.5C and land use reports, as well as the release of a major report 
by the US National Academy of Sciences on the topic. Our Institute focuses on 
science and social science aspects of these emerging technologies, including 
governance and the role of public deliberation, as well as translating 
scientific literature for the social science community and the public. We have 
recently established a speakers bureau, details of which can be found here: 
https://www.american.edu/sis/centers/carbon-removal/speaking-appearances.cfm.

We are prepared to make virtual presentations during this time, including in 
the fall and spring. Please contact me with any questions you might have. wil

[gep-ed] Upcoming Institute Webinar: Mitigation Deterrence

2020-04-14 Thread Wil Burns
We hope you can join us for another Institute webinar on April 28, at 12pm ET. 
Please click on the link below to register.

Mitigation Deterrence: A ICRLP Webinar

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mitigation-deterrence-an-icrlp-webinar-tickets-101736344144?aff=erelpanelorg
About this Event
In this webinar Nils Markusson, Duncan McLaren, and Rebecca Willis of Lancaster 
Environment Centre at Lancaster University UK will present results from a 
project called "Assessing the Mitigation Deterrence effects of Greenhouse Gas 
Removal technologies". The event will be moderated by Institute Co-Director, 
Wil Burns.
Mitigation deterrence (MD) is where the pursuit of (for example) greenhouse gas 
removal (GGR) purportedly delays or deters other mitigation options. The 
project is aimed at analyzing such effects, and explores under what conditions 
Greenhouse Gas Removal technologies can be used with as little risk of 
mitigation deterrence as possible.

Susi makes a good point for people who are brought in as experts and not 
currently teaching.

Perhaps those of us who are currently teaching could consider putting together 
some sort of a cooperative though?  For example, I'm currently teaching my 
environmental sociology class to advanced undergrads and some graduate 
students.  I've got online classes coming up when we resume on: climate change, 
environmental attitudes and behaviors, post materialism, the environmental 
movement, environmental justice, food and waste, and environmental stewardship.

If anyone on the list wanted to discuss a swap on one of these topics for 
something that I am an expert in and frequently give talks about (such as 
environmental activism, environmental stewardship, environmental protest, 
climate politics and echo chambers), I'd be happy to see if we can make 
something work...

I hope everyone else is staying safe in these crazy times!

Hi Ron,
As someone who often is a guest speaker, just remember that your guest speakers 
are going through their own little hell of adjusting everything they do right 
now. So, check your speaker budgets and consider being generous. The usual 
couple hundred bucks doesn't even begin to cover the time a good speaker spends 
to prepare a good talk or even just the time they spend coming to your class.

So, one more layer of attitude and institutional shift here: compensate people 
adequately for their time. Do not assume they can afford volunteer time right 
now. And consider inviting people who are losing work and income right now due 
to COVID19 and offer them a decent stipend to help them out.

That way, you getting help actually helps, not burdens, someone else too.

Best to all and stay sane and healthy,
Susi

Subject: [gep-ed] just a thought


One other thought on the whole online learning thing – Zoom or other apps for 
streaming lectures might be an excellent, low-carbon way to bring in guest 
speakers.  We could each “trade” guest lectures on our well-known subjects (the 
lectures we can give in our sleep), reducing workload of developing lectures 
for us while giving our students better content.



I am not offering to coordinate this – just a suggestion in case anyone thinks 
it’s a good idea.

Webinar Series

The Assessing Carbon Removal webinar series will bring together experts to 
examine particular carbon removal technologies. Institute staff and guest 
speakers will explain and contextualize what we know about carbon removal 
options, as well as the research necessary to thoroughly assess the technical, 
legal, and social considerations of carbon removal technologies as a potential 
element of a climate response portfolio.

Latest Webinar
1 hour

In this webinar, Kerryn Brent, University of Adelaide; Wil Burns, Co-Director 
of the Institute for Carbon Removal Law & Policy; and Jeffrey McGee, University 
of Tasmania discuss the potential role of marine climate geoengineering 
approaches such as ocean alkalinity enhancement and "blue carbon." Focusing on 
the governance of marine geoengineering research and deployment, along with 
potential risks of this approach, this webinar comes on the heels of CIGI's 
Special Report on the topic authored by Brent, Burns, and McGee.

Hi all,

For those of you who, like me, have found your students summarily sent home, 
and then been thrust into the world of online teaching, all thanks to the new 
coronavirus, please read this amazing blog post by Rebecca Barrett-Fox, "Please 
do a bad job of putting your courses online."

An ELI Public Webinar

Recent international assessments suggest limiting a global average temperature 
increase below 2˚C is unlikely without deploying large-scale technologies that 
reduce solar insolation or remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. 
However, real-world research remains deeply controversial, especially given the 
lack of international oversight of these relatively low-cost, transboundary 
technologies.

Which geoengineering technologies seem most promising and which seem 
inauspicious? What are the legal frameworks, if any, governing the research and 
implementation of geoengineering? Should the policymakers addressing climate 
change today rely upon the technologies of tomorrow?

Panelists will delve into these questions and explore the risks and 
opportunities in geoengineering mechanisms including solar radiation management 
and carbon dioxide removal. Join ELI and our expert panelists as they consider 
the role of geoengineering to curb climate change.

[Image removed by sender.]
Dear Friends,

I am delighted to announce an exciting new initiative - the inaugural Public 
Voices Fellowship on the Climate Crisis. The goal of the project is to bring 
new, diverse voices into the national climate conversation via training in 
op-ed writing and thought leadership. Please consider applying and/or sharing 
the opportunity with anyone you think might be interested.

The Fellowship will provide twenty climate change thought leaders, the majority 
of whom will be women and people of color, with extraordinary support, 
leadership skills and knowledge to ensure their ideas shape not only their 
respective fields, but public opinion and policymaking on the most urgent issue 
of our age.

The program includes four in-person, day-long workshops and one-on-one coaching 
by leading journalists and editors. All participants will publish at least two 
written pieces of thought leadership (and hopefully many more) during their 
fellowship. Attendance at all four workshops is required – applicants must save 
the dates in order to apply.

The curriculum explores leadership, power, and action in an unfair world. Over 
the course of a year, fellows will learn how credibility works, how ideas 
spread, when and why minds change, and how ideas play out over time and space.

SELECTION
We are looking for new voices from civil society, academia, and the private 
sector, including advocates, entrepreneurs, community and business leaders, 
scientists, educators, and writers, among others.

We seek leaders working at the intersection of climate change, communication, 
and social justice, with a demonstrated desire and ability to contribute to 
public dialogue on climate change. Areas of focus could include activism and 
movement building, financial risks and opportunities of climate impacts and 
solutions, local, national or global policy, climate science, sector approaches 
(e.g., faith, business, health), or many others.

Fellows will be chosen through a competitive selection process. We are 
committed to building a diverse cohort. We will consider a variety of factors, 
including but not limited to gender, race/ethnicity, age, geography, area of 
expertise, work history, and experience as an agent of change.

DETAILS
● Up to 20 fellows
● Year-long program
● Four interactive day-long workshops in or near NYC (dates are: April 23-24, 
2020; July 17; October 2; December 9, 2020). Applicants MUST commit to and save 
those dates.
● Dedicated editors (top journalists) to provide regular, one-on-one 
support/editing/coaching
● Access to ongoing mentoring for the fellowship year
● A limited number of travel and lodging stipends for those who need them. The 
workshops are provided free of charge.

MORE ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP
The Public Voices Fellowship on the Climate Crisis is a collaboration between 
the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, The OpEd Project, and Ann 
MacDougall and is part of The OpEd Project’s national Public Voices initiative 
to change who writes history. The OpEd Project is a think tank and leadership 
organization that amplifies the ideas and public impact of new and necessary 
voices, including women of all backgrounds. Ann MacDougall is an impact 
investor, independent public board member and experienced senior executive. She 
serves as a senior advisor to the Public Voices Fellowship on the Climate 
Crisis.

The Carbon Removal Debate: A New ICRLP Report

The second report of our carbon removal briefing paper series, "The Carbon 
Removal Debate," examines how carbon removal methods have suddenly appeared on 
the climate agenda & argues for a more honest debate about their uncertainties. 
Prepared by communications scholar Matthew 
Nisbet<https://camd.northeastern.edu/faculty/matthew-c-nisbet/>, this report 
builds on two events held by ICRLP to solicit critical feedback. The Consortium 
for Science, Policy and Outcomes at Arizona State University co-hosted the 
first event with us (see video 
here<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lax9ZEq006s=929s>) and the second 
meeting was convened in Boston (see meeting report

Duties and Responsibilities
The Research Fellow in Environmental Politics will work with Professor David 
Coen, the Principal Investigator (PI) and Dr Tom Pegram, Co-Investigator 
(Co-I), on a  EU-funded Horizon 2020 Project on ‘Global Governance and the 
European Union: Future Trends and Scenarios' (GLOBE). It is a collaborative 
project with leading global governance researchers from China, Europe and the 
US. The project aims to identify the major roadblocks for effective and 
coherent global governance, by multiple stakeholders, and in a multi-polar 
world. It will provide policy-makers, academics and the general public with an 
analytical grip on the state of play in global governance by developing new 
theoretical and methodological approaches. It also hopes to equip national and 
European policy-makers with tools to identify constraints and possibilities in 
several global governance scenarios in 2030 and 2050. More information on the 
GLOBE project is available here: 
https://www.globe-project.eu/en<http://www.globe-project.eu/en>

Specifically, the project will focus on the role of the private sector in 
responding to the environmental imperative, informed by growing evidence of the 
negative economic effects of climate change on industry operations and returns 
for investors. The project will map private data initiatives aimed at holding 
corporations to account  for their carbon emissions, evaluate the soft 
regulatory function of non-state actors in monitoring corporate carbon 
inventories, and provide a preliminary assessment of efforts by state, 
intergovernmental bodies and non-state actors to more proactively enlist 
corporations in the fight against climate change.

The Research Fellow will work collaboratively with the PI and Co-I on the 
workpackage 'Politics of Environmental Governance' which the UCL team is 
leading on, duties of the post include, assisting with design of survey 
instruments and preparation of survey processes, assisting with data analysis 
and assisting with data management.

The post will commence on the 01 January 2020 and is initially funded until 28 
August 2021. Please note that the start date is negotiable.
Key Requirements
The ideal candidate will hold a PhD (or be near completion of) in political 
science, international relations, or related discipline.

The candidate must have demonstrated ability to undertake data scraping and 
work with survey data. She/he will have experience with large-n data analysis 
and management. She/he will have strong substantive knowledge of the research 
literature on global governance/international organisation, ideally on 
environmental governance. The ideal candidate will also be able to demonstrate 
strong communication skills (oral and written, to both academic and 
non-academic audiences) and the ability to work well in a team.

Familiarity with scholarship on environmental governance and non-state actors 
would be desirable.

[gep-ed] ICRLP Speakers Bureau

2019-08-10 Thread Wil Burns
The discussion of the potentially critical role of carbon dioxide 
removal/negative emissions technologies in the portfolio of responses to 
climate change has increased rapidly in the past year with the release of the 
IPCC's 1.5C and land use reports, as well as the release of a major report by 
the US National Academy of Sciences. Our Institute focuses on social science 
aspects of these emerging technologies, including governance and the role of 
public deliberation, as well as translating scientific literature for the 
social science community and the public. We have recently established a 
speakers bureau, details of which can be found here: 
https://www.american.edu/sis/centers/carbon-removal/speaking-appearances.cfm.

We hope to visit with you soon! Please contact me with any questions you might 
have. wil

So, the Swiss are pledging to not fly to venues within 240 miles or so. Most of 
us who trek, for example, from Chicago to Peoria probably already fulfill that 
pledge  And, yes, I remain wholly unconvinced that meeting people on Zoom is 
more “connective” than a happenstance discussion in the hallway at a conference 
that leads to new collaborative opportunities.

While I think it’s salutary to avoid wholly frivolous academic travel, I think 
it’s disheartening to encourage everyone to interact with their colleagues 
wholly via their smartphones. It’s a bit soul-draining, actually. Moreover, 
there are some excellent offset programs that can help us justify our (limited) 
travel to convene with our colleagues at meetings. wil

Dear Aseem,

About a decade ago I tried hard to convince scholars, including many on this 
list, that we needed to stop encouraging air travel to conferences. Even then 
technologies existed to allow collaboration online that was vastly more 
connective than face-to-face collaboration at conferences. I suffered a severe 
backlash, including ad hominem attacks (a few from members of the ISA's ESS 
section). The business model of many academic associations, not least ISA, 
demands big centralized conferences. Things are slowly starting to change, as 
you highlight in your message, but my guess is that most older scholars (over, 
say, about 40?) will continue to dig in their heels and defend their air travel 
(everyone who flies seems to think that their doing so is worth the 
environmental cost). History won't judge this behavior kindly. The future is in 
the younger scholars who are accustomed to collaborating online -- after all, 
nowadays many people collaborate using their smart phones even when those 
people are on the same campus, even in the same building, and sometimes even in 
the same room.

All best,

Paul

Dear friends and colleagues,
Please help me circulate this postdoc position to any interested parties who 
are enthusiastic about an opportunity for a field-based postdoc with an 
emphasis on qualitative research, and a tie-in to a larger mixed methods 
project (described below). The position will be based in the Indian School of

comfortable working in Hindi. I am a collaborator on the project, however 
please direct enquiries to Harry Fischer (harry.fisc...@slu.se) or Sangeetha

Position: Postdoctoral Fellow – “Institutional networks and self-organized 
adaptation: Tracing the democratic architectures of climate response”

Location: Indian School of Business, Hyderabad

Position Description:

We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work on the project 
“Institutional networks and self-organized adaptation: Tracing the democratic 
architectures of climate response”, a multi-collaborator effort led by Harry 
Fischer (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences), Forrest Fleischman 
(University of Minnesota), Dil Khatri (South Asian Institute of Advanced 
Studies), and Ashwini Chhatre (Indian School of Business). The project aims to 
study how individuals, households, and communities access state support 
mechanisms to confront climate risk and change, and the political channels that 
enable (and often preclude) their success. We seek an early-career scholar with 
training in humanistic social sciences or interdisciplinary development 
studies. The ideal candidate would have experience conducting intensive 
qualitative fieldwork with a focus on rural livelihoods and the politics of 
government service delivery coupled with knowledge of the South Asian context 
and comfort working in Hindi. Some familiarity with quantitative methods would 
be desirable. The postdoctoral fellow would be expected to spend at least 12 
months in the field in Northern India (Himachal Pradesh) and Nepal. We wish to 
involve the postdoctoral fellow as a collaborator in developing the larger 
project, while also giving them a significant role in defining the research 
that they wish to focus their attention on.

For more information on the project, please see: 
https://www.slu.se/en/departments/urban-rural-development/research/rural-development/ongoing-research/institutional-networks/


Employment and Institutional Affiliations:

The postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity to work in collaboration with 
the larger research team led by Harry Fischer. However, their primary 
affiliation will be the Indian School of Business on their Hyderabad campus, 
where they will work under the direct supervision of Prof. Ashwini Chhatre. ISB 
is a leading management education institution in India, with an active

Research Fellowships 2020/2021: Open Call for Applications

Postdoctoral and Senior Researchers

The Käte Hamburger Kolleg/Centre for Global Cooperation Research (KHK/GCR21) 
invites applications for Research Fellowships with duration of 6 to 12 months 
starting between March and June 2020. Proposals regarding 1) pathways and 
mechanisms of global cooperation and 2) global cooperation under conditions of 
polycentric governance are especially welcome. The fully funded fellowships are 
available to both senior and postdoctoral researchers across the humanities and 
social sciences. Deadline for applications is June 2nd, 2019.

The KHK/GCR21

The Centre for Global Cooperation Research at the University of Duisburg-Essen 
is one of ten Käte Hamburger Kollegs sponsored by the German Federal Ministry 
of Education and Research. Established in 2012, the Centre is an 
interdisciplinary and international learning community that seeks to enhance 
understanding of the possibilities and limits of global cooperation and to 
explore new options for global public policy. The working language at the 
Centre is English.

In its second funding period (2018-2023) the Centre’s research and fellowships 
are organized around four broad themes: pathways and mechanisms of global 
cooperation; global cooperation and polycentric governance; critique, 
justification and legitimacy in global cooperation; and global cooperation 
among plural conceptions of world order. Empirical research on these themes 
will focus especially on the governance of climate change, the internet, 
migration, and peacebuilding. The Centre will issue thematic calls for 
application on an annual basis.

Fellowships 2020-2021

For next year we invite fellowship applications from across the humanities and 
social sciences (including also psychology, law and economics) in relation to 
the first two main themes, as detailed below. Preference is for fellowships of 
twelve months, but shorter periods will also be considered. We particularly 
encourage female researchers and scholars from the Global South to apply. 
Applications from scholars at risk are welcome.

Benefits to Fellows

  *   An intellectually stimulating and vibrant interdisciplinary learning 
community
  *   Excellent infrastructure with fully equipped offices, library facilities, 
and administrative support (also with finding accommodation)
  *   Funds to organize workshops (subject to approval; workshops emerging from 
an interdisciplinary exchange with other fellows / colleagues at the Centre are 
preferred)
  *   Either a monthly stipend commensurate with experience or financing of a 
teaching replacement at the home institution


Expectations from Fellows

  *   A completed PhD
  *   Personal research and publication in the Centre’s thematic areas
  *   A contribution to the Centre’s own publications
  *   Active participation in seminars and other Centre events
  *   Collaboration with other fellows in interdisciplinary exchange
  *   Work in residence at the Centre in Duisburg, Germany

Themes 2020-2021

The Centre’s work in the period of 2020-2021 will focus on the themes ‘Pathways 
and Mechanisms of Global Cooperation’ and ‘Global Cooperation and Polycentric 
Governance’. We especially invite fellowship applications that address these 
themes, as described below. In addition, preference will be given to 
applications with an empirical focus on the governance of climate change, the 
internet, migration, and peacebuilding.

Pathways and Mechanisms of Global Cooperation

This theme aims to develop a dynamic understanding of global cooperation (i.e. 
extensive and intensive collaboration of two or more parties to address a 
collective problem of global scale). Pathways, typically understood as a set of 
mechanisms and processes that lead towards global cooperation, include for 
example the scaling up of municipal climate initiatives to global initiatives

Case Studies in the Environment announces winners of 2018 prize competition

Oakland, CA-The editors of University of California Press's Case Studies in the 
Environment (cse.ucpress.edu) are pleased to announce the winners of the 2018 
Case Studies in the Environment Prize Competition, which awards a $2,000 prize 
for best environmental case study, as well as two $500 honorable mention prizes.

Articles eligible for the competition were submitted by the September 15, 2018 
deadline and underwent a rigorous peer review process prior to being accepted 
for publication. Once accepted, a subset of these articles were then nominated 
by editors from each of CSE's six content sections, with the ultimate, 
prize-winning articles evaluated and selected by the journal's Editor-in-Chief, 
Wil Burns.

"As was the case in the first year of our prize competition, we were blessed 
this year with a large number of excellent contributions," notes Professor 
Burns. "Our prize winner, Heather O'Leary, demonstrated the great pedagogical 
value of case studies, constructing a case focused on the critical role of the 
informal sector in water decision making in Delhi, and its implications for 
citizen participation in environmental decisions more broadly. Both Sonya 
Ahamed et al.'s piece, focused on the food-energy-water nexus in ten contiguous 
counties in the Denver metro region, and R.M. Colvin et al.'s article on a 
proposed large- scale wind project in Tasmania, and counterintuitive lessons 
about citizen engagement, were also compelling case studies with great value 
for teaching in the classroom and for practitioners."

The winning articles from the 2018 Case Studies in the Environment Prize 
Competition, which will remain freely accessible throughout 2019, include:

2018 First Prize article:
Pluralizing Science for Inclusive Water Governance: An Engaged Ethnographic 
Approach to WaSH Data Collection in Delhi, India,

[gep-ed] Geoengineering Governance: Great Barrier Reef

Governing geoengineering research for the Great Barrier Reef

Climate Policy (2019)

Coral reefs are highly vulnerable to the impacts of rising marine temperatures 
and marine heatwaves. Mitigating dangerous climate change is essential and 
urgent, but many reef systems are already suffering on current levels of 
warming. Geoengineering options are worth exploring to protect the Great 
Barrier Reef (GBR) from extreme warming conditions, but we contend that they 
require strong governance and public consultation from the outset. Australian 
governments are currently funding feasibility testing of three geoengineering 
proposals for the GBR. Each proposal involves manipulating ocean or atmospheric 
conditions to lower water temperatures and thereby reduce the threat of mass 
coral bleaching events. Innovative strategies to protect the GBR and field 
testing of these is essential, but current laws do not guarantee robust 
governance for field testing of these technologies. Nor do they provide the 
foundation for a more coherent national policy on climate intervention 
technologies more generally. Responsible governance frameworks, including 
detailed risk assessment and early public consultation, are necessary for 
geoengineering research to build legitimacy and promote scientific progress.

Explainer Series Webinar: Soil-Based Carbon Removal

Date: Friday, April 5th, 2019
Time: Noon - 1:00 pm (EST)



RSVP<https://american.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aefcb76ff1d91744e5f20bb45=5c4811073e=663ff01ee3>



Can healthy soils help the world tackle climate change? Soil holds three times 
the amount of carbon dioxide currently in the atmosphere. And, methods of soil 
carbon sequestration are already in widespread use. But, how do we build the 
capacity to decide what kind and how much of a particular soil-based carbon 
removal effort is appropriate in any particular context? During this webinar, 
experts of soil carbon sequestration will provide a scientific overview of this 
form of carbon removal as well as examine its benefits, risks, and 
uncertainties.

This is the first webinar in the Institute’s Explainer Series. Each episode of 
the Explainer series focuses on a particular carbon removal technology. You 
will hear from specialists of that approach to carbon removal who will provide 
a scientific overview of the technology, unpack its risks and benefits, and 
illuminate its unanswered questions. These webinars are part of the Institute’s 
mission to provide tools for non-governmental organizations, policymakers, 
academics, and the public which enable them to comprehensively assess the 
social, legal, ethical, and political implications of carbon removal 
technologies.
