Moderate, Temporary, and Responsive Solar Geoengineering

Join us as we explore solar geoengineering (the engineered alteration of earth’s radiation budget) as a means of managing climate risk. What are the host of new risks associated with this technology? David Keith, one of the most prominent researchers advocating for research in this field, will review the science and technology and of solar geoengineering, arguing that systematic management of climate risks requires the capability to implement these technologies. He will explore the elements of a geoengineering research program needed to build and regulate such capability.

Offered in association with the Center for Energy and Society

“Prudence demands that we study methods that offer the hope of limiting the environmental risks posed by the accumulation of fossil carbon in the atmosphere.”
