Recordings of panel discussions from RFF's Solar Geoengineering Futures event

[p.j.irvine]

Hi all,

Here are recordings from the Resources for the Future Solar Geoengineering Futures event in Washington DC from a couple of weeks ago. There were many solar geoengineering experts speaking on a series of panel discussions. The one I personally learned the most from was the Geopolitics panel on the second day, but the whole event was great.

Biophysical Impacts (Science of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering)

- Pete Irvine, UCL

- Babatunde Abiodun, University of Cape Town
- John Moore, University of Lapland
- Daniele Visioni, Cornell University
- Lili Xia, Rutgers University

Would Solar Geoengineering Crowd Out Emissions Cuts?

- Joe Aldy, Harvard Kennedy School and RFF
- Talbott Andrews, University of Connecticut
- Dave McEvoy, Appalachian State University
- Christine Merk, Kiel Institute for the World Economy
- David Morrow, American University

A Conversation with the Right Honourable A. Kim Campbell, P.C. (from Climate Overshoot Commission)

Solar Geoengineering’s Place in Broader Climate Strategy

- Mariia Belaia, George Mason University
- Tony Harding, Georgia Institute of Technology
- Doug MacMartin, Cornell University
- Massimo Tavoni, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment
- Simone TIlmes, National Center for Atmospheric Research

Capacity Building for Competent, Just, & Inclusive Decisionmaking

- Julie Arrighi, Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre
- Marion Hourdequin, Colorado College
- Hassaan Sipra, Alliance for Just Deliberation on Solar Geoengineering
- Shuchi Talati, Alliance for Just Deliberation on Solar Geoengineering
- Billy Williams, American Geophysical Union

Plausible Non-optimal Near-term Solar Geoengineering Scenarios (Geopolitics)

- Beth Chalecki, University of Nebraska Omaha
- Tyler Felgenhauer, Duke University
- Joshua Horton, Harvard Kennedy School
- Jessica Seddon, Yale University
- Erin Sikorsky, Center for Climate and Security

Important Next Steps for Solar Geoengineering Policy and Research

- Holly Buck, University at Buffalo
- David Keith, University of Chicago
- Andy Parker, The Degrees Initiative
- Ted Parson, University of California, Los Angeles School of Law
- Billy Pizer, Resources for the Future

Cheers,

Pete

Thank you Pete! 

I wanted to make sure that this additional session was also included in the list above:

A conversation on the NOAA Earth Radiation Budget

Greg Frost, NOAA

Kristin Hayes, Resources for the Future

Best,

Tyler

Thank you Pete!  I just finished listening to the first one that I thought was quite good though so much more could have been raised and said about this topic with more time!  For one thing everything except SAI got pretty short shrift, and potential non-SRM Direct Climate Cooling (DCC) techniques like for example OTEC that might be able (at scale) to significantly cool ocean surfaces and raise all the renewable energy that we currently use and then some (though I'm not advocating an OTEC only energy policy or any single "silver bullet" DCC method as I think it would be big mistake "to put all of our eggs in one basket" on either score!). For more see the  Healthy Planet Action Coalition (HPAC) cooling paper here :https://www.scribd.com/document/656516741/The-Case-for-Urgent-Direct-Climate-Cooling-Final-Version-6-19-2023 .  (We have submitted a later version of this to a journal but want to hold off on making it public just yet.).

Best,
