Environmental Guru: Evoking equity as a rationale for solar geoengineering research? Scrutinizing emerging expert visions of equity
„A post summarizing a recent paper in International Environmental Agreements. – Solar geoengineering ideas remain largely confined to the imagination, with very little scientific research funded to date beyond indoor modeling studies. Explicit policy demand for this supply of science appears to be minimal, although this could certainly change. In this context, a small group of experts advocating for more research into solar geoengineering—what we term, following Stephen Hilgartner, “sociotechnical vanguards,”—are justifying a call for more research, sometimes on equity grounds.“
