The fragmentation of international environmental governance creates challenges for states looking to create governance for solar radiation modification (SRM), says Marcos Regis da Silva, Executive Director of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) during a C2GTalk. Policymakers in the Americas welcomed a recent IAI meeting which provided more information about SRM, and the state of its governance, to help them make decisions about the best way forward.

In this edition of Wilson Center NOW, we are joined by Beth Chalecki, Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of Nebraska Omaha and Research Fellow with the Environmental Change & Security Program. She discusses research and advances in geoengineering, the deliberate and large-scale intervention in the Earth's climate system to combat climate change. Chalecki also discusses how the international community can come together to tackle the growing threat posed by increased carbon in the atmosphere.
