  • The Bottom-Up Alternative: the Mitigation Potential of Private Climate Governance After the Paris Agreement
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLE\42-2\HLE205.txt unknown Seq: 1 30-JUL-18 10:11 THE BOTTOM-UP ALTERNATIVE: THE MITIGATION POTENTIAL OF PRIVATE CLIMATE GOVERNANCE AFTER THE PARIS AGREEMENT Maria L. Banda* ABSTRACT The 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change has sought to inject renewed energy into the international climate regime. As a “bottom-up” treaty, however, it allows States to set their own emissions targets. Even before the U.S. withdrawal, States Parties’ commitments fell far short of what is required to achieve the treaty’s objectives. The low level of State ambition, coupled with the lack of an international enforcement mechanism, means that pri- vate initiatives—including through courts, investor actions, and voluntary business commit- ments—will be critical, especially in the U.S., if the climate regime is to deliver on its goals. This Article seeks to contribute to both the theoretical and empirical literature on private climate governance and develop a richer understanding of bottom-up options for the imple- mentation of the Paris Agreement where State leadership is weak or lacking. First, it develops an analytical framework to evaluate the effectiveness, or the mitigation potential, of private climate governance. Second, it provides a critical assessment of three promising forms of pri- vate climate governance: (a) disclosure of company emissions and climate risks; (b) voluntary commitments to reduce emissions; and (c) carbon labeling. The Article shows empirically that these private initiatives face a number of constraints that make them unlikely to generate significant mitigation action in the near term without regulatory backing. However, other bottom-up options, such as climate litigation, can play an important role in closing the ambi- tion deficit by increasing government accountability and facilitating the de facto implementa- tion of the Paris Agreement in the U.S.

  • Why 350? Climate Policy Must Aim to Stabilize Greenhouse Gases at the Level Necessary to Minimize the Risk of Catastrophic Outcomes
    Why 350? Climate Policy Must Aim to Stabilize Greenhouse Gases at the Level Necessary to Minimize the Risk of Catastrophic Outcomes ∗ Matt Vespa INTRODUCTION After years of inaction, the possibility of substantive federal and international climate policy is finally in sight. With so much time already squandered, insufficient action today will foreclose the ability to prevent catastrophe tomorrow. If we are to avoid saddling future generations with extreme economic and environmental hardships, emerging climate policy must ensure a high probability of keeping future warming below dangerous levels. Unfortunately, proposed federal climate legislation, which aims at limiting temperature rise to 2–3°C above pre-industrial levels by stabilizing greenhouse 1 gases in the range of 450–550 parts per million (ppm) CO2eq, poses significant and unacceptable risks. The best available scientific evidence now indicates that a warming of 2°C is not “safe” and would not prevent dangerous interference with the climate system. In addition, due to a number of climactic processes that are not fully understood, equating a particular atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases with a specific temperature increase involves a significant degree of uncertainty. As the consequences of overshooting a 2°C threshold could include the displacement of millions due to sea level rise, irreversible loss of entire ecosystems, and the triggering of ∗ Matt Vespa is a senior attorney at Center for Biological Diversity’s Climate Law Institute.

  • The Culture Wars of Climate Change
    Queensland University of Technology From the SelectedWorks of Matthew Rimmer June 1, 2015 The ulturC e Wars of Climate Change Matthew Rimmer, Australian National University College of Law Available at: https://works.bepress.com/matthew_rimmer/238/ The Culture Wars of Climate Change Matthew Rimmer* In a 2005 essay, Bill McKibben considered the role of art and culture in the scientific and political debates over climate change.1 He considered that it was a paradox that the creative communities were slow to respond to the climate crisis: Here’s the paradox: if the scientists are right, we’re living through the biggest thing that’s happened since human civilization emerged. One species, ours, has by itself in the course of a couple of generations managed to powerfully raise the temperature of an entire planet, to knock its most basic systems out of kilter. But oddly, though we know about it, we don’t know about it. It hasn’t registered in our gut; it isn’t part of our culture. Where are the books? The poems? The plays? The goddamn operas? Compare it to, say, the horror of AIDS in the last two decades, which has produced a staggering outpouring of art that, in turn, has had real political effect. I mean, when people someday look back on our moment, the single most significant item will doubtless be the sudden spiking temperature. But they’ll have a hell of a time figuring out what it meant to us.2 McKibben emphasized that earth had changed dramatically in the face of climate change: ‘That famous picture of the earth from outer space that Apollo beamed back in the late 1960s –already that’s not the world we inhabit; its poles are melting, its oceans rising.’3 He * Dr Matthew Rimmer (BA/LLB ANU, Phd UNSW) is an Australian Research Council Future Fellow; an Associate Professor at the ANU College of Law; and an Associate Director of the Australian Centre for Intellectual Property in Agriculture (ACIPA).

  • Climate Engineering Field Research: the Favorable Setting of International Environmental Law
    Climate Engineering Field Research: The Favorable Setting of International Environmental Law Jesse Reynolds* Abstract As forecasts for climate change and its impacts have become more dire, climate engineering proposals have come under increasing consideration and are presently moving toward field trials. This article examines the relevant international environmental law, distinguishing between climate engineering research and deployment. It also emphasizes the climate change context of these proposals and the enabling function of law. Extant international environmental law generally favors such field tests, in large part because, even though field trials may present uncertain risks to humans and the environment, climate engineering may reduce the greater risks of climate change. Notably, this favorable legal setting is present in those multilateral environmental agreements whose subject matter is closest to climate engineering. This favorable legal setting is also, in part, due to several relevant multilateral environmental agreements that encourage scientific research and technological development, along with the fact that climate engineering research is consistent with principles of international environmental law. Existing international law, however, imposes some procedural duties on States who are responsible for climate engineering field research as well as a handful of particular prohibitions and constraints.

  • A Comprehensive Approach for Reducing Anthropogenic Climate Impacts Including Risk of Abrupt Climate Changes *
    Fate of Mountain Glaciers in the Anthropocene Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Scripta Varia 118, 2013 www.pas.va/content/dam/accademia/pdf/sv118/sv118-molina-zaelke.pdf A comprehensive approach for reducing anthropogenic climate impacts including risk of abrupt climate changes * Mario Molin a1 & Durwood Zaelk e2 Summary Annual greenhouse gases emissions in 2010 were at their highest recorded level in spite of a global recession. The risk is growing that the climate system could pass tipping points that lead to abrupt and irreversible impacts on a continental scale, perhaps within decades. Successfully address - ing climate change requires fast and aggressive action to reduce CO 2 emis - sions, which are responsible for up to 55% of radiative forcing since 1750. It also requires fast and aggressive action to reduce emissions of the pollu - tants causing the other 45% of warming – the non-CO 2 climate forcers, including hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), black carbon, methane, and tropos - pheric ozone. Along with reducing CO 2, reducing emissions of these non- CO 2 climate forcers, which in most cases can be done using existing technologies and existing laws and institutions, can cut the rate of global warming in half for several decades and by two-thirds in the Arctic in the next 30 years. In addition, given the profoundly persistent nature of CO 2, it is necessary to explore and implement “carbon-negative” strategies to drawdown existing CO 2 on a timescale of decades rather than millennia, and ultimately produce a net drawdown of CO 2 when sinks exceed sources. Dangerous anthropogenic interference Increasing global temperature due to the increase in anthropogenic cli - mate forcers has put human civilization and the Earth it depends upon in *This paper draws on Molina, Zaelke, Sarma, Andersen, Ramanathan, & Kaniaru, (2009) Reducing abrupt climate change risk using the Montreal Protocol and other regulatory actions to complement cuts in CO 2 emissions, Proc.
