Seminar: Climate Engineering Under the Paris Agreement

Neil Craik (University of Waterloo) While the Paris Agreement does not address the issue of climate engineering (CE) expressly, the target of limiting global average temperature rise to “well below” 2°C and to “pursue efforts to limit the temperature increases to 1.5°C”, (a goal that appears unlikely to be achieved in the absence of significant amounts of carbon removal), raises questions respecting how the issue of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation management (SRM) technologies may be addressed under the...
