QUNO shares news that a briefing paper developed and released last year with input from the Human Impacts of Climate Change (HICC) program was recently adapted and published in the academic journal, Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development. The article is available and accessible online here, presenting QUNO research and findings in a condensed format for a large audience of scientific and policy experts.
The paper, “Carbon Dioxide Removal: What Is Sustainable and Just?” was written by Dr. Duncan McLaren and Dr. Olaf Corry and published under the same title in 2024 on the QUNO website. Originally envisioned, commissioned, and edited by QUNO, it evaluates the ethical, environmental, political, and justice dimensions of large-scale implementation of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. This has been an increasing topic of concern and focus for QUNO and we have raised questions and calls for greater responsibility during interventions at the IPCC and UNFCCC negotiations.
Environment: Science and Policy for Sustainable Development publishes bimonthly editions for a wide readership on topics related to environmental science and policy. During the adaptation process, editorial review and expertise were shared by Steven Kolmes and Tim O’Riordan, editors at the journal. With a readership represented by over 100,000 annual downloads, Environment magazine is a prestigious home for environmental research and QUNO celebrates the authors and the ongoing impact of their work.
