Legal regulation of climate engineering Abstract Although climate engineering offers a tempting solution on how to easily avert the threats of climate change, it is a risky and ethically questionable solution, and it brings a whole series of challenges and questions for the legal system. Few sources of foreign scientific literature are dedicated to this topic. Also, some of the Czech diploma theses are devoted to the field. None of them deals with legal aspects of it. Currently, there are several non-binding international documents that directly address climate engineering, and some legally binding instruments are relevant. So far, however, no legally binding instruments that would explicitly regulate this discipline were established. However, some guidance is provided by existing international environmental law treaties and general principles of international environmental law. On the basis of the available literature and legislation in force, the aim of the work was to answer some questions that arise in connection with climate engineering, i.e. whether an environmental impact assessment mechanism can be used for the approval process, how liability should be assessed in the event of cross-border damages caused by a climate engineering project, on what ground would states resolve potential disputes arising...
