CCIS 2020 WEBINARS

Main Goals of the CCIS Webinar Series 

Conceptualization of a research framework for assessing proposed climate intervention strategies: Establish shared understanding of ongoing research of climate intervention strategies in different research communities and main challenges. Reach a perspectival integration for completeness of knowledge/understanding. Identify elements of a research program, identify existing and new working groups of such a program.

Overarching questions for each webinar topic

Identify grand challenges and science questions for each of these topics

Identify different groups involved already and still needed

List projects that exist and are planned that can be built upon

Identify needed collaborations from other communities and explain why

 

To subscribe to the CCIS 2020 mailing list, please send us an e-mail with a brief statement of your interest in climate intervention strategies.

Comments: Please send us your input to the webinar series by taking this 5-minute survey. You may revisit the survey as needed.
