Also in September, the two of us published a new paper<http://ceassessment.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0721a933272e999e56086f946&id=aa46c3a69c&e=e1eae48156> <http://ceassessment.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0721a933272e999e56086f946&id=7d9f7e6f11&e=e1eae48156> on the opportunities and governance challenges associated with bioenergy and carbon capture with storage. FCEA continues to work on the social, political, and legal dimensions of the full suite of climate engineering technologies. Please read on for a selection of other publications and events from last month and for information about an upcoming workshop in Washington, DC on carbon dioxide removal technologies. -Wil Burns and Simon Nicholson, Co-Executive Directors Academic Working Group Update On September 9-10, FCEA convened its Academic Working Group on the International Governance of Climate Engineering for its fourth meeting. The group, set to publish a report and set of recommendations on the governance of solar radiation management in May 2018, clarified a set of governance objectives, including democratic governance, enabling the production of necessary knowledge, ensuring climate engineering is developed only as part of a larger climate response portfolio, guarding against risk, and building institutional architecture.

Could climate engineering technologies be used to weaken hurricanes? Is proposing such research a good idea, or is it a distraction? We asked members of our Board of Advisors<http://ceassessment.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0721a933272e999e56086f946&id=c7f9096371&e=e1eae48156>, including Janos Pasztor, Tom Ackerman, Mark Lawrence, and Doug MacMartin.
