As the impacts of climate change accelerate, conversations around climate intervention, specifically solar geoengineering, or sunlight reflection methods (SRM), are entering the mainstream debate. But who decides if and how these technologies are researched and tested?
Join us for a timely and thought-provoking panel discussion on SRM research governance where themes of science, justice, climate, and accountability intersect.
This event will bring together experts in science, policy, and governance to explore critical questions: What rules should guide SRM research today? How can transparency, public engagement, and global equity be ensured? Who gets a voice in decisions that could affect the entire planet?
Whether you’re a policymaker, researcher, advocate, or simply curious about the future of climate intervention, this conversation will offer valuable insights and perspectives on this rapidly evolving topic.We’ll be hearing from a panel of some of the country’s top experts in this topic SRM and research governance, including:
