Baum et al. (2023): Coupling for climate intervention: Sectoral and sustainability couplings for carbon removal and solar geoengineering pathways
Chad M. Baum, Sean Low, Benjamin K. Sovacool IN: Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 194, 122734, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.techfore.2023.122734
The authors employed a novel dataset garnered from a large expert-interview exercise (N = 125) to conceptualize and consider crucial couplings to solar radiation management and carbon dioxide removal at many levels (across different sectors, differing dimensions of sustainability, productive or destructive impacts, and direct and indirect relationships). Their analysis thereby provides insights into the understanding of climate transitions by explicitly considering the most salient couplings in general as well as how, and to what extent, the various options relate to each other, as a portfolio for climate intervention, and together to climate mitigation and adaptation.
