Humor & Geoengineering

12:00pm to 1:00pm

Location: 

Harvard University Center for the Environment, 26 Oxford Street, Room 429

"Humor & Geoengineering"

Humor, like geoengineering, is about the clash between what is and what could be. In this unconventional, interactive session, researcher-turned-humanitarian Pablo Suarez and illustrious cartoonist Bob Mankoff will engage participants in exploring how the power of intelligent humor can be harnessed to support learning and dialogue about difficult issues. Focusing on climate risks and the prospects of geoengineering, we will share an experience of how humor works, how it can be used and misused, and what it can do to enable fruitful discussions...

Is International Law Ready for Marine Geoengineering?

12:00pm to 1:00pm

Location: 

The EPS Faculty Lounge (Hoffman Lab 409), 20 Oxford St

On February 7th, Kerryn Brent and Jeff McGee from the University of Tasmania will give a talk titled, “Is International Law Ready for Marine Geoengineering?” followed by a Q&A and discussion. 

Summary: The world’s oceans are a key site for site CDR and SRM proposals. There is a large body of international law that governs human activities in the world’s oceans.  We find the capacity of these rules to govern marine geoengineering is limited in three ways. First, states have different rights and obligations concerning marine geoengineering depending on whether it...
