Geoengineering in the Anthropocene through Regenerative Urbanism
Human consumption patterns exceed planetary boundaries and stress on the biosphere can be expected to worsen. The recent “Paris Agreement” (COP21) represents a major international attempt to address risk associated with climate change through rapid decarbonisation. The mechanisms for implementation are yet to be determined and, while various large-scale geoengineering projects have been propose...
متن کاملDistributive Justice, Geoengineering and Risks
It is generally recognised that the potential positive and negative impacts of geoengineering will be distributed unevenly both geographically and temporally. The question of distributive justice in geoengineering thus is one of the major ethical issues associated with geoengineering. Currently, the question of distributive justice in geoengineering is framed in terms of who gets what (potentia...
متن کاملFraming an ethics of climate management for the anthropocene
In addition to carbon dioxide, it is becoming increasingly clear that there are numerous other potent agents of anthropogenic forcing (e.g. methane, ozone, black carbon) at work in the climate system today. The typical ethical framing of climate change has not yet accommodated this complexity. In addition, geoengineering has often been presented as a Plan B that would simply counter unintention...
متن کاملAnthropocene Ethics:
The International Geosphere Biosphere Program has recently suggested that we now live in a new era of natural history, the Anthropocene, one marked by the emergence of a new series of geological, biological and climatological forcing mechanisms in the biosphere. These new forcing agents are changing the composition of trace gases in the atmosphere, moving large amounts of material all over the ...
متن کاملGeoengineering and the politics of science
The latest reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) include an assessment of geoengineeringÑmethods for removingcarbondioxide fromthe atmosphere, or cooling theEarthby reflecting more of the sunÕs radiation back into space. The IPCC assessment signals the arrival of geoengineering into the mainstreamof climate science, andmay normalize climate engineering as a policy re...
