We are interested in papers addressing a broad range of topics, including (but not limited to): · Do governance approaches applied to other areas of scientific research and biotechnology provide relevant guidance? · To what extent is it possible to devise effective regulation before the technological subject of that regulation is understood, and if not, is there a way to co-evolve technology and regulation? · Given the ethical framework of a precautionary principle, should the development and use of the most potentially dangerous technologies simply be banned? · How, if at all, can an effective international accord regarding geo-engineering be achieved and made effective? · Does the regime for nuclear weaponry provide lessons? · Is there a role for existing international institutions such as the United Nations, or are new ones required? · What role will public perception and opinion play in a governance regime forgeoengineering? · What will be the effects of geoengineering on support and efforts directed at mitigation and adaptation? All selected participants will be expected to produce a working draft of their paper by May 1, 2017; read the other papers that will be presented in advance of the workshop; and participate in person at our workshop, to be held at Northwestern Pritzker Law School in Chicago, on May 18-19, 2017.
