Perspective from India. „With geoengineering being increasingly mooted as a possible response to climate change, it is crucial that conversation regarding its governance gains traction across the world.“

„Reviewing the existing studies of public perception and drawing analogies from other risk technologies, this paper explores the public positions on research and implementation of geoengineering as a means to combat climate change.“

„This paper critically investigates scientific knowledge production under conditions of major uncertainty. It discusses how uncertainty, ethics and social considerations are treated in the SAI literature, which applies techno-economic models.“
Q[&]A on CE with Stephen Salter, Richard Darton, Andrew Charlton-Perez. „For our latest reader Q[&]A, we’ve assembled three experts to answer your questions about geoengineering.“

„In this study we compare the sunshade solar geoengineering response of a perturbed parameter ensemble (PPE) of the HadCM3 model with a multi-model ensemble (MME) by analyzing the G1 experiment from the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP).“

„The first part of this thesis quantifies the stratospheric temperature response to a range of size distributions of sulphate, titania, limestone and soot aerosol. […] The second part of this thesis uses a global climate model to investigate the dynamical response of the troposphere and the stratosphere to the radiative perturbations introduced by geoengineering aerosol.“
„As the world’s leading reservoir of scientific expertise, the United States has an obligation to help fill this governance gap. To date, discussion of the pros and cons of geoengineering has largely been confined to discussion between scientists and civil society groups.“
