The Regulatory Framework for Climate Engineering - with a focus on CDR

Haomiao will present on the regulatory framework for climate engineering, with a focus on carbon dioxide removals (CDR) (in contrast to solar radiation management, SRM). In this presentation, Haomiao will first unfold the main legal issues associated with land-based and ocean-based CDR techniques and then discuss the current regulatory progresses in the international context (IPCC report and NDCs) and also in the EU and China.

Haomiao Du is an assistant professor in climate law and sustainability at the Department of International and European Law, Utrecht University. Haomiao has ample experience of working in an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary environment with natural scientists as well as social scientists. Haomiao is the author of the monograph International legal framework for Geoengineering (2017). Haomiao has published scientific articles in both legal and interdisciplinary journals. Her work mainly surrounds international and comparative climate law (in particular the EU, China, and Vietnam), including both mitigation and adaptation, and the interactions between environmental law and disruptive technologies. She is passionate about increasing the impacts of legal knowledge and scholars in the scientific community of climate change.

The Climate Breakfast Seminar Series was launched in June 2019 as a platform to provide expert insights on crucial contemporary climate change issues.
