The Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G) launched several new resources about the governance challenges posed by emerging approaches to alter the climate. 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.
