Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G)
New resources from C2G explored the potential use of solar radiation modification (SRM) to reflect sunlight back into space to reduce the Earth’s temperature. A briefing note examined the policy implications of the technique’s inclusion in the latest IPCC Working Group III report, followed by an overview of the current governance gaps and challenges around SRM. Additionally, a new episode of the C2GTalk interview series featured Harvard Kennedy School's Sheila Jasanoff discussing how society views real-world experiments of these proposed technologies.
