As Climate Disruption Increases, Should We Consider Solar Geoengineering Approaches to Rapidly Cool the Earth? A Conversation at the Nexus of Science, Justice and Policy
As climate disruption intensifies, the urgency to identify what can protect people and ecosystems is growing. Solar geoengineering—approaches that could temporarily reflect sunlight and rapidly cool the Earth—is emerging as a serious area of scientific research and policy discussion.
Could these approaches play a role alongside emissions reductions and adaptation? How can they be responsibly researched? What might we learn by studying them now, and how can we ensure that decisions about these technologies are guided by rigorous science, international cooperation, and principles of justice?
Join Woodwell Climate for a forward-looking conversation about the risks and potential of solar geoengineering—and exploring how better understanding these technologies today could help us make better-informed choices about our climate future.
Woodwell Climate Conversations is a monthly event series designed to engage our community and foster meaningful discussion about climate change and its impacts.
This series provides a platform for both in-person and virtual discussions, workshops, and presentations.
Join us each month as we bring together experts, thought leaders, and community members to explore the latest climate science, the work being done at Woodwell Climate Research Center, and the steps we can all take toward a sustainable future.
Doors open at 5:00pm, events start at 6:00pm in the Harbourton Auditorium.
This event will be offered both in-person and virtually, please register in advance.
Select lectures will be available both in-person and virtually, with recordings available on the Woodwell Climate website at a later date.
