Governing Emerging Marine Climate-Altering Techniques – Dorothée Herr

On 7 December 2019, C2G convened an official UNFCCC COP25 side event on governing emerging marine climate-altering techniques. Dorothée Herr, Manager for Oceans & Climate Change at the Global Marine and Polar Programme of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, participated in a panel discussion.

The research and potential use of marine climate-altering techniques are being discussed in the context of the Paris agreement and the ocean’s role in achieving it. None of these techniques are ready at scale. All pose significant technological and governance challenges, which need to be addressed and require the attention of stakeholders.
