Annex 3: Keynote Abstracts One step forward could be the adoption of guiding principles for geoengineering governance, not as a template for an international treaty instrument but as an example of potential guidance, which could be embedded in soft or hard law and used by the key geoengineering stakeholders to guide decision-making on geoengineering research in particular. These might comprise the following (Rayner, et al., 2009; Asilomar Scientific Organizing Committee, 2010): Principle 1: Geoengineering to be regulated as a public good Principle 2: Public participation in geoengineering decision-making Principle 3: Disclosure of geoengineering research and open publication of results Principle 4: Independent assessment of impacts Principle 5: Governance before deployment Such guiding principles could sit well against the backdrop of a moratorium on deployment pursuant to ENMOD or a General Assembly resolution, for example. Unlike a binding legal instrument, such guidance can be adopted “instantly” through endorsement by relevant actors (UNGA resolution; UNEP guidelines; endorsement by national legislatures; professional bodies etc). Nor is the adoption of guiding principles in “soft” form and the simultaneous negotiation of binding rules mutually exclusive, with the possibility of “twin-track soft-hard” rules (Redgwell, 2011). Such principles are also adaptable to the multi-scalar multi-level – local, national and international - governance architecture needed successfully to combat climate change (Osofsky, 2008; Scott, 2011).
