TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore ways in which ecosystems and green infrastructure are critical infrastructure in the context of disaster risk reduction to report respective losses in the Sendai Framework Monitor (SFM), and argue that reporting on GI under indicators D-4 and C-5 in the SFM represent an opportunity for tracking losses, yet do not provide direct information on progress made in reducing risk.
Abstract: Ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction has gained attention to complement or replace grey infrastructure. The paper explores ways in which ecosystems and green infrastructure (GI) are critical infrastructure in the context of disaster risk reduction to report respective losses in the Sendai Framework Monitor (SFM). We argue that reporting on GI under indicators D-4 and C-5 in the SFM represent an opportunity for tracking losses, yet do not provide direct information on progress made in reducing risk. Custom targets and indicators according to countries' needs within the SFM might be a more practical opportunity to report on both losses and progress.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study of a restoration-oriented CREMA in Ghana revealed internal governance issues including accountability and transparency which reduced the CREMA's ability to facilitate restoration on cocoa farms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the legality of ocean fertilisation under the law of the sea and conclude that it is subject to regulation under the London Convention and London Protocol as its potential for harm is contrary to the aims of these agreements.
Abstract: Geo-engineering and environmental modification techniques are increasingly being proposed as climate change mitigation strategies. Ocean fertilisation has been promoted as a simple solution to the problem of increasing atmospheric CO2 levels. However, neither its environmental safety nor its efficacy has been adequately assessed. This article examines the legality of ocean fertilisation under the law of the sea and concludes that it is subject to regulation under the London Convention and London Protocol as its potential for harm is contrary to the aims of these agreements. Hence, the sale of carbon offsets to fund ocean fertilisation activities should be prohibited unless and until an adequate risk assessment based on independent peer-reviewed science has established that the benefits outweigh the potential for harm, and appropriate regulation is in place to ensure that real, measurable, long-term CO2 sequestration can be independently verified. The initial uncertainties surrounding the appropriate regulatory regime for ocean fertilisation highlight the need for a comprehensive global regime for the prior assessment and on-going monitoring of existing, new and emerging high seas activities and uses to ensure they do not have adverse impacts on marine biodiversity and the marine environment in areas beyond national jurisdiction.
