A Moratorium for Solar Geoengineering?

Workshop Motivation: The workshop is motivated by the current surge in interest and controversy related to SRM, as climate risks mount and scale-up of other essential responses remains slow. SRM might be able to reduce severe near-term climate risks more...

Bounding Physical-Science Unknown Unknowns for Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering

Workshop Motivation: A common and reasonable concern about solar geoengineering is the chance of low-probability high-consequence harmful outcomes. Some of these concerns relate to socio-political uncertainties such as reduced effort to cut emissions; others relate to physical science uncertainties. This meeting...

Glacial Geoengineering Workshop

Workshop Motivation: The IPCC AR6 projects that sea level will rise by 0.5 to 1.0 m by 2100, with a low-likelihood, high-impact possibility of 2.0 m. Furthermore, sea level will not stop rising after 2100, even if emissions reduce. Sea-level...

Enhanced Rock Weathering and Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement Workshop

Workshop Motivation: Some quantity of active carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere will likely feature in optimal climate policy to substitute for emissions reductions in hard-to-abate sectors or to reduce atmospheric concentrations after net zero. Among multiple approaches that can...
