- Solar geoengineering represents a set of risky and untested-yet potentially beneficial-technologies that could help address the growing risks of climate change, especially when paired with aggressive emissions mitigation, carbon dioxide removal, and climate resilience efforts. While interest has been growing in solar geoengineering, more physical climate and social science research is needed before policymakers consider developing deployment capability. Additionally, ongoing and robust public engagement with a diverse set of global stakeholders and communities is crucial, especially as the impacts may affect regions differently.
On September 28 and 29, Resources for the Future (RFF) hosted “Solar Geoengineering Futures: Interdisciplinary Research to Inform Decisionmaking”, a two-day conference focused on the key questions informing ongoing research and decisionmaking on solar geoengineering. This hybrid event featured an interdisciplinary group of leading solar geoengineering experts exploring the major challenges, uncertainties, and potential benefits related to this emerging set of technologies.
Welcome and Introduction:
- Richard Newell, Resources for the Future
- Billy Pizer, Resources for the Future
Panel 1. Biophysical Impacts: Climatic and Non-climatic Risks and Benefits:
The starting point for social science research on solar geoengineering (SG) is the biophysical parameters of a possible SG intervention. This session provided a grounding in SG knowns and unknowns, as well as ongoing research in this area.
- Babatunde Abiodun, University of Cape Town
- John Moore, University of Lapland
- Daniele Visioni, Cornell University
- Lili Xia, Rutgers University
Non-profit means government funded, which really means tax payer money
Just say no to the experts.
We did for decades remember?hence why the planet is now a death trap
No , it is not. Blocking the sun is.@@deanfowles3707
