Watch the video to learn how it would work and hear the debate around the ethics and efficacy of solar geoengineering.

Managing the Risks of a Temporary Temperature Overshoot
By C2G Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YohtRF6r9Hs
This side event discussed the risks of a temporary temperature overshoot in the African region and explored the role of Carbon Dioxide Removal in the context of a just energy transition to identify opportunities for sustainable development in Africa that can contribute to improving livelihoods while reducing carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. The expert speakers looked at the critical role of Africa in shaping discussions around the international governance of solar radiation modification as a possible climate response option that could potentially reduce the risks of warming temperature.

Is geoengineering a devil’s bargain for climate change?

David Keith | A Case for Integrating Solar Geoengineering into Climate Policy | Talks at Google
By Talks at Google
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7VCIrIPyNM
David Keith reviews the science and technology of solar geoengineering, addressing the following Q’s: how effective could it be in reducing climate risks? What new risks does it entail? What is uncertain? And, finally, how could uncertainty be reduced to a substantial research program? He presents a case for integrating solar geoengineering into a 4D climate policy that includes emissions cuts, carbon removal, and adaptation.

Solar Geoengineering: Should we artificially cool the planet?
By DW Planet A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gvsHkLSxhY
Could it become the last option to stop global warming or is it an insane intervention? Some scientist are working on how we could deflect solar radiation to slow down global warming. Here are three mind blowing ideas how this might work.

Climate Conversations: Solar Geoengineering
By National Academies - Earth and Life Studies
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvO-s_LAdZg
Solar geoengineering refers to a set of possible strategies to help reduce global warming by increasing the amount of solar radiation reflected away from Earth. Frank Sesno (George Washington University) moderated a conversation with Marcia McNutt (President of the National Academy of Sciences) and Chris Field (Stanford University) about how and whether solar geoengineering could fit into broader efforts to address climate change, the role of research in helping inform decisions about implementation, and the complex global ethics and governance issues associated with solar geoengineering. The webinar included discussion of the new National Academies report Reflecting Sunlight: Recommendations for Solar Geoengineering Research and Research Governance, which was chaired by Dr. Field.

Governance of emerging climate technologies in the context of sustainable development
By C2G Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7HW52HC39s
During the Sixth annual Multi-Stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the SDGs (STI Forum), C2G co-hosted a side event with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN-ESCAP). This event offered an overview of the state of Solar Radiation Modification research and development, explored the implications for the SDGs highlighting the need to strengthen governance to guarantee climate justice and presented policy recommendations to address knowledge and governance gaps.
