"Geoengineering: Clutching at straws or part of a climate solution strategy? A pARRTIcipatory panel on the pros and cons of geoengineering

Solar radiation management as a form of geoengineering has been proposed in various contexts as a promising measure to counteract global warming. Experimental approaches to researching the feasibility of solar radiation management, such as the Stratospheric Particle Injection for Climate Engineering (SPICE) or more recently the Stratospheric Controlled perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), have always encountered problems because they are often seen as breaching fundamental ethical boundaries. Earlier this year, Sweden’s space agency called off a landmark initial test of technology that could pave the way for efforts to slow global warming by dimming the sunlight that reaches Earth. Under pressure from Indigenous and environmental groups, the Swedish Space Corporation decided not to conduct the experiment that Harvard University researchers had planned for June 2021 in the Arctic circle. Since the World Climate Conference in Rio in 1992, CO2 emissions have risen by up to 40%. As a result, incalculable risks are looming due to escalating climate change and only a small window of time seems to remain in which to mitigate its adverse effects. Against this background, geoengineering—i.e. large-scale technological interventions in geochemical and biogeochemical cycles of the Earth—appears to be a promising endeavor. However, there are also critical voices such as climate scientist Alan Robock, who points to 20 possible dangers of geoengineering, including potential damage to the ozone layer, negative effects on flora and fauna or misuse for military purposes. Robock illustrates his claims with modelling studies and observational evidence from volcanic eruptions. The unclear balance between benefits and risks makes a final assessment of the use of geoengineering technologies difficult. With this interdisciplinary panel we aim to shed some light on this controversial field by discussing the pros and cons of geoengineering with our audience and an interdisciplinary group of world-renowned experts.

We look forward to engaging in discussion with you!"
