Luke Iseman on his for-profit solar geoengineering venture - Make Sunsets | Challenging Climate
Luke Iseman is the founder of Make Sunsets, a recently launched startup that is selling “cooling credits” on the promise that they will release sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere using weather balloons. In this episode, we discuss Make Sunset’s mission to “substantially lower global temperatures,” the details of their offering, the technical challenges for verifying their cooling credits, and the potential political repercussions of their efforts

Managing the risk of climate change overshoot in the Asia-Pacific: Governance of CDR and SRM | C2G Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbQHoUOYagA
This hybrid event was co-organized by The Energy and Resource Institute (TERI) and the Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G) for the 7th session of the Committee on Environment and Development of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) aimed to increase the awareness of stakeholders and catalyze regional discussions around the latest scientific and governance developments relating to large-scale CDR and SRM.
C2GTalk: Why did the Saami Council oppose Harvard’s SCoPEx experiment? | C2G Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd2MHOc5qXw
In 2021 the Saami Council effectively stopped Harvard University’s Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx,) which aimed to examine the behavior of stratospheric aerosols which could potentially be used to reflect back a portion of incoming sunlight to reduce global warming. In a C2GTalk, Åsa Larsson Blind, vice-president of the Saami Council, explains why she was in opposition and underlines the importance of including indigenous people in climate governance.
