In response to the release of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s Working Group II report, the initiative released a briefing note highlighting the policy and governance gaps around the potential deployment of solar radiation modification (SRM). Additionally, C2G's Nicholas Harrison and Cynthia Scharf wrote a blog post detailing the report's implications and how to understand and manage the risks of global warming overshooting 1.5°C. And in a newly published paper in collaboration with the Duke Center on Risk in Science & Society, C2G explored the use of a risk-risk framework to enable a more comprehensive assessment of climate change risks. Finally, in a new episode of the C2GTalk interview series, Carnegie Institution for Science's Ken Caldeira examined the ethical questions surrounding the outdoor research and experimentation of SRM.
