SRM treaties – Lehmann | Reviewer 2 does geoengineering
Why sign SRM treaties? What makes them stable and useful? Do they need to be stated, or are norms enough? Niklas Lehmann tries to convince a skeptical @geoengineering1 of the usefulness of game theory for modelling key questions in international relations. Paper: Exploring the stability of solar geoengineering agreements

Chris Stark on the UK’s Climate Change Committee | Challenging Climate
https://www.challengingclimate.org/1873533/12433360
Chris Stark is the Chief Executive of the UK‘s Climate Change Committee. Previously, he worked as the Director of Energy and Climate Change in the Scottish Government. In this episode, Chris breaks down the role of the CCC in UK’s climate policy. We then take a close look at how UK has done so far in cutting emissions, what else needs to be done, and the challenges that lie ahead. We end off with a discussion of where geoengineering techniques like SAI sit on the UKCCC’s radar.

Solar Geoengineering and Intergenerational Justice | Panel Discussion | Harvard Carr Center for Human Rights Policy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lxuJriEaTg
“Marion Hourdequin (Colorado College), Stephen Gardiner (University of Washington), and Lucas Stanczyk (Harvard University) speak on a panel moderated by Mathias Risse at the Ethics & Solar Geoengineering Conference, co-sponsored by the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy. The conference brings philosophers together with experts in related fields to create a forum for sustained, interdisciplinary, and inclusive discussion of the normative dimensions of solar geoengineering, with special focus on the communities who are, or stand to be, most impacted by the climate crisis.”

Can We Cool a Warming World? | Cambridge Zero
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCp8n3XefWw
“On this session Dr Shaun Fitzgerald, Prof Hugh Hunt, Arctic researcher Ilona Mettiäinen and PhD student Alice Wells guide us through to the options we could follow to cool a warming planet. Chaired by Dr. Antoinette Nestor, the presenters explore various options for actually removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, discussing both nature-based and engineering-based approaches.”
