Despite uncertainties about its feasibility and desirability, start-up companies seeking to profit from solar geoengineering have begun to emerge. One company is releasing balloons filled with sulfur dioxide to sell “cooling credits”, claiming that the cooling achieved when 1 g of SO2 is released is equivalent to offsetting one ton of carbon dioxide for one year. Another aspires to deliver returns to investors from the development of a proprietary aerosol for dispersal in the stratosphere. Such for-profit solar geoengineering enterprises should not be understood merely as rogue opportunists. These proposals are not only scientifically questionable, and premature in the absence of effective governance, but they are a predictable consequence of neoliberal, market-driven climate governance. The structures and incentives of market-based climate policy - circumscribed by neoliberalism's emphasis on technological innovation, venture capital, and the marketization of environmental goods - have generated repeated efforts to profit from various forms of geoengineering. With a climate governance regime wherein private, for-profit actors significantly influence and weaken climate policy, de facto governance of solar geoengineering has emerged, dominated by actors linked to Silicon Valley funders and ideologies. Without more explicit efforts to curb the power of private sector actors, including commercial geoengineering bans and non-use provisions, pursuit of techno-market “solutions” could lead to both inadequate mitigation and increasingly risky reliance on geoengineering.

Institutional reforms are crucial to meeting growing transboundary challenges. However, the scholarship recognizes that institutions are often sticky due to path dependencies. This paper aims to contribute to the literature on institutional reform by highlighting the web of processes interacting to enable or prevent change from happening. The paper argues that a framework for understanding prospects for reform must combine perspectives about agency and architecture in order to gain insights into the coming together of the supply and demand of reform proposals. An international institution that faces growing calls for reform is the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This paper examines UNFCCC reform options through an interview study with a range of stakeholders. The interviews reveal factors that can advance or block reform. The paper concludes by discussing its findings and implications for understanding the politics of institutional reform.

This perspective article explores foundational shifts required for the conceptualization of future principles and goals to inform the starting re-negotiation process of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) post-2030. Based on a multi-stakeholder consultation and workshop-based focus groups, this article emphasizes integrating non-material aspects of human flourishing, such as cultural, psycho-social, and community-based aspects, in addition to the current focus on material conditions (as represented in the SDGs).
Given regional, cultural, religious and other specificities, these non-material aspects need to be based on localized goals and indicators that follow global principles. This in turn, we argue, requires the development of a multi-level governance framework to capture the full spectrum of societal health and human experience allowing for both top-down principle-based governance as well as bottom-up goal and indicator development. Key recommendations include: localized implementation by leveraging local and indigenous knowledge, and fostering adaptable development models rooted in local realities and global principles.
This flourishing-based development approach aims to harmonize material conditions with non-material aspects of human flourishing as a process oriented integrated systems approach.

Governing marine cloud brightening for ecosystem conservation under a warming climate
IF 4.4 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Pub Date : 2025-01-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.esg.2025.100240

Marine Cloud Brightening (MCB) is an emerging technology designed to mitigate the impacts of climate change by increasing the reflectivity of low-lying marine clouds. As research into this technology advances, the question of how to govern its trials and deployment becomes increasingly important. This paper identifies 12 challenges and 13 recommendations for governance of MCB, based on a systematic review of 27 publications. These findings are explored in relation to the design of effective MCB governance, with a particular focus on potential small-scale applications for ecosystem conservation purposes, like coral bleaching mitigation. The paper underscores the existing knowledge gaps and potential avenues for future MCB governance research, contributing to the burgeoning literature on the governance of innovative technologies aimed at addressing global environmental challenges. To manage potential risks and maximise potential benefits, it is crucial to understand the governance challenges MCB presents and explore options to address these challenges.

From complexity to integration: Insights for process design from an empirical case study of transdisciplinary planetary health collaboration in Indonesia

Transdisciplinary research has been increasingly advocated as necessary to address complex planetary health challenges spanning environmental and human health in different socio-economic contexts. Recognising global interdependence, such research must engage in equitable co-production for lasting, meaningful impact. Existing transdisciplinarity frameworks and practices from the environment, health, and development fields primarily focus on research processes and outcomes, generically mentioning ‘collaboration’ without sufficiently expanding how the process can be designed to facilitate equitable and sustained outcomes. This case study undertakes an empirical deep-dive into a planetary health research in Indonesia to better understand transdisciplinary collaboration from participants' experiences. Deductive and inductive analyses of the enabling and constraining factors offer novel insights into the collaborative process of stakeholder engagement, interaction, and integration. Rich examples from the case study were then synthesised into process design strategies to overcome structural constraints through boundary spanning, adaptive project management, and creating spaces for social learning and reflexivity.

Understanding who influences climate policy and how expertise shapes decision-making is crucial in tackling climate change effectively. This perspective piece seeks to unravel the complexities of climate governance by reflecting on the role of experts in shaping climate policies. We suggest a new research agenda for studies on the representation and role of expertise in national climate institutions and in policymaking. With a shift towards national implementation, following the Paris Agreement, greater scholarly attention to the role of domestic institutions, including their scientific foundations, is crucial for our understanding of today's climate governance. Focusing on national climate councils, we debate the role of their expert composition and diversity of scientific expertise. We highlight the need for more research on the epistemic diversity and pay special attention to the role of social sciences, particularly the discipline's ability to address the political dimensions of climate action, such as equity, justice, and public acceptance.
了解谁在影响气候政策以及专业知识如何影响决策对于有效解决气候变化问题至关重要。本视角文章试图通过反思专家在制定气候政策中的作用,揭示气候治理的复杂性。我们提出了一个新的研究议程,研究专家在国家气候机构和决策中的代表性和作用。随着《巴黎协定》的签署转向国家实施,学术界应更多地关注国内机构的作用,包括其科学基础,这对我们理解当今的气候治理至关重要。以国家气候委员会为重点,我们讨论了其专家组成的作用和科学专长的多样性。我们强调需要对认识论多样性进行更多研究,并特别关注社会科学的作用,尤其是该学科解决气候行动政治层面问题的能力,如公平、正义和公众接受度。

Towards sustainable governance of freshwater sand – A resource regime approach 实现淡水砂的可持续治理--资源制度方法

The UN (2022) recently highlighted the global crisis posed by governance failures in sand mining. Yet despite this acknowledgement of its importance in unlocking this emerging crisis, research on sand governance has barely begun (Cao and Masanet, 2022). Recognizing governance as crucial to achieving sustainable freshwater sand mining, we bring together natural resource regime theory with the leveraging literature to elaborate the novel conceptual framework of the freshwater sand resource regime. This governance regime brings together black letter resource law and regulation, extraction and consumption practices of actors and societal values and behaviours to foster synergies and trade-offs for multi-scaled collective action over freshwater sand. Using a multisite research-commodity chain analysis case study of the Someshwari river in the Ganges-Brahmaputra basin, one of the most heavily mined river complexes in the world, we show the potential of this framework to identify leverage points among stakeholders to promote sustainable freshwater sand extraction and consumption practices. We demonstrate the framework's utility to align governance with UN Sustainable Development Goals for resource management. The research highlights the urgent need for further exploration of freshwater sand governance in different empirical contexts, given its potential implications for instilling global sand sustainability.
联合国(2022 年)最近强调了采砂治理失败带来的全球危机。然而,尽管人们认识到治理对解决这一新兴危机的重要性,但有关采砂治理的研究却几乎没有开始(Cao 和 Masanet,2022 年)。认识到治理是实现淡水采砂可持续发展的关键,我们将自然资源制度理论与杠杆文献相结合,阐述了淡水砂资源制度的新概念框架。这种治理机制将黑体字的资源法律法规、参与者的开采和消费行为以及社会价值观和行为结合在一起,以促进淡水砂多规模集体行动的协同效应和权衡。通过对恒河-布拉马普特拉河流域(世界上开采量最大的河流群之一)的 Someshwari 河进行多地点研究--商品链分析案例研究,我们展示了该框架在确定利益相关者之间的杠杆点以促进可持续淡水砂开采和消费行为方面的潜力。我们展示了该框架在使资源管理与联合国可持续发展目标保持一致方面的实用性。这项研究强调了在不同的经验背景下进一步探索淡水砂治理的紧迫性,因为它对促进全球砂的可持续发展具有潜在影响。

Exploring the rights of nature in freshwater and marine ecosystems 探索淡水和海洋生态系统中的自然权利

Recognizing nature as a legal subject could be understood as an innovative way to transform environmental law towards an ethos of respect and care. The Rights of Nature (RoN) movement gained traction at a time when planet Earth is facing unprecedented ecological degradation. So far, little attention has been given as to how RoN is interpreted and conceptualised and what its implications are to freshwater and marine ecosystem governance. Moreover, important questions remain insufficiently answered, including, for instance, the question of who grants such rights and on the basis of which legal mechanisms, who legally represents nature, or how such rights are actually being implemented and possibly enforced. This article explores the different legal conceptualizations of RoN, focusing on freshwater and marine ecosystems which have received particular attention in recent years in both the academic discourse and in policy practice – yet remain under immense pressure. It also investigates which legal mechanisms are being used to recognize these rights – e.g. court cases, laws, ordinances– and what their legal implications have been so far, including the challenges which have to be addressed to ensure that this innovative approach indeed helps transform how societies perceive and govern freshwater and marine ecosystems.
承认自然是一个法律主体可以被理解为一种创新的方式,将环境法转变为一种尊重和关爱的精神。在地球面临前所未有的生态退化之际,自然权利 (RoN) 运动受到了广泛关注。迄今为止,人们对 RoN 如何解释和概念化及其对淡水和海洋生态系统管理的影响关注甚少。此外,一些重要问题仍未得到充分解答,例如,由谁赋予此类权利、基于何种法律机制、谁在法律上代表自然或此类权利如何得到实际实施和强制执行等问题。本文探讨了 RoN 的不同法律概念,重点是近年来在学术讨论和政策实践中受到特别关注的淡水和海洋生态系统,但它们仍然面临巨大压力。文章还调查了哪些法律机制被用于承认这些权利--如法院案例、法律、法令--以及它们迄今为止的法律影响,包括必须应对的挑战,以确保这种创新方法确实有助于改变社会对淡水和海洋生态系统的看法和管理方式。

It also investigates which legal mechanisms are being used to recognize these rights – e.g. court cases, laws, ordinances– and what their legal implications have been so far, including the challenges which have to be addressed to ensure that this innovative approach indeed helps transform how societies perceive and govern freshwater and marine ecosystems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":33685,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Governance","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100224"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589811624000247/pdfft?md5=a55a163d8e926655a4e1505e67b29f68&pid=1-s2.0-S2589811624000247-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142315535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
