C2GTalk: Should the world consider solar radiation modification in light of the latest IPCC findings
By C2G Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJtULJdz0WI
More research and better governance is needed to help developing countries make decisions about solar radiation modification (SRM), says Thelma Krug, Vice-Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) during a C2GTalk.
Climate change technology: is shading the earth too risky?

If the world is getting too hot, why not give it some shade? Solar geoengineering could halt global warming, but there are risks to this controversial technology.
Assessing Solar Radiation Modification - #GESDASummit 2022

Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) has been scientifically, politically and societally divisive. Some experts don’t even want to discuss proposals to go on with fundamental research in the field. There is fear that future societies could succumb to “techno fix” attitudes, potentially damaging current climate change mitigation policies. Other experts believe that interventions such as cloud brightening, aerosol injection, and creating more reflective surfaces must be part of a possible intervention portfolio, especially if other measures fail. Regardless of position, both sides agree that the planet’s future is in peril and people and governments must act.

Rania Ghosn performs a reading of the studio’s graphic novel, The Planet after Geoengineering, a companion to their eponymous project curated by Hashim Sarkis and exhibited at the 2021 Venice Biennale of Architecture. The novel makes climate engineering and its controversies visible in a series of five stories, collectively assembled into a planetary section from the deep underground to outer space, seeking to understand pressing issues during this time of climate crisis.
