This means redoubling efforts to cut emissions, and reliably constrain temperature rises, not gambling on speculative technological interventions to cool the planet.

The Institute of Technology Assessment of the Austrian Academy of Sciences has published a NanoTrust Dossier entitled “ Advanced Materials.” As a result, it is important to highlight safety-relevant aspects at an early stage and to identify potential risks in accordance with the precautionary principle.

The GCC emphasises that technological developments and new scientific insights have to be taken into account. Last but not least: the precautionary principle requires that potentially colossal damage be averted. That means that the relevant “rules” are not and should not be cast in stone (¶262). to avoid passing the 1.5C

There may also be requirements on what technologies must be used for mitigation such as the use of catalytic converters in cars that used older lead fuel (6). One of the best examples of control or elimination is the global legislation in the 1980s to limit CFC emissions that were damaging the ozone layer (5).

31] Many energy experts are enthusiastic about solar panels, but new information has called the social and ethical value of the technology into question. Industrial solar and wind projects require between 300 and 400 times more land than nuclear plants. [29] 30] By contrast, today’s energy system requires just 0.5 5] Ran Fu et al., “US

In a series of posts (beginning here , and ending here ) last month, I outlined an approach to climate policy that emphasizes the role of subsidies in building political support and technological progress for climate policy. In doing so, I drew heavily on existing political science research and case studies from North America and Europe.
