Abstract

With climate change standing as a pressing emergency demanding immediate attention and comprehensive redress, marine geoengineering has emerged as a prospective avenue for mitigating anthropogenic greenhouse emissions. This article reviews the sketchy international governance seascape which has emerged to control the environmental risks posed by marine geoengineering with limited specific controls adopted under the London Convention and London Protocol (LC/LP) and the Convention on Biological Diversity. The article concludes by describing the foggy future for marine geoengineering governance. Many questions remain unanswered, such as next steps under the LC/LP, the climate change regime, and possibly through the United Nations Environment Assembly.
