Geoengineering, especially its potentially fast and high‐leverage versions, is often justified as a necessary response to possible future climate emergencies. In this article, we take the notion of ‘necessity’ in international law starting point assessing how rapid, geoengineering might be legally. The need specify reliably ‘grave imminent peril’ makes such justification difficult because our scientific ability predict abrupt change, for example, tipping elements, limited. time it takes...
According to most climate mitigation scenario assessments, limiting global warming 1.5–2°C in the long run will not be possible without extensive deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from atmosphere. CDR is required for drawing down and achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by mid-century. Thereafter, removals likely need exceed residual emissions, resulting net negative emissions. A policy framework based on 'carbon obligations' (CROs) has been proposed respond concerns about financial...

Abstract Climate constitutionalism is a relatively novel legal field that has nonetheless adopted very distinct character. Picking up on the classical liberal tack, it marked by distrust of state power as relates to climate action or inaction. This venerable approach. In his 1967 classic, MJC Vile recounts ‘great theme advocates [had been] frank acknowledgement role government in society, linked with determination bring under control and place limits exercise its power’. mode been ported...
This paper commences a conversation between labour law and social democratic thought, environmental climate law. It does so tentatively given that these are bodies of law, practice, scholarship which have traditionally had limited contact. Part 1 this chapter details track record suspicion the two, ranging from indifference to outright hostility. is argued however an unproductive stance as there shared interests mutual gains be more engaged relationship. especially true when we consider...

The introduction of “nationally determined contributions” into the Paris Agreement was a risky if necessary strategy. NDCs are in that they novel device which could well underdeliver key climate goods mitigation, adaptation, and finance; but given were likely only means to achieve buy-in from negotiating parties.
Imagine that there had been a global financial crisis and governments around the world responded by intervening massively into their economies way of stimulus packages which inter alia created "green jobs".One instance this imaginary response might have government Ontario's Green Energy Economy Act, 1 guaranteed local producers supplied minimum content technology to meet province's renewableenergy targets.Were such provision take effect, it could be foreseen leading trading partner Canada,...
