Dear Colleagues,

Ted Parson will be joining us this coming week at our members forum (see announcement below). It would be very timely moment to have you with us for this conversation.

I just ran across Pall Gunnarsson's article for SRM360 a few days ago that was entitled:

Iceland and the AMOC: When Existence Is at Stake

It was a great short and pithy piece of work. I was particularly struck by his proposition that:

“Iceland could realistically convene a coalition of like-minded nations and philanthropic funders to mount a concentrated effort to determine whether SRM could help stabilise the AMOC.”

It is heartening that more voices are speaking out to support coalition-building among nations. As you know, The Healthy Planet Action Coalition has been engaged for the past 15 months now in many countries across the globe to build such a coalition to address the great global heating emergency. 

Pall Gunnarsson, Paul Gambill and I will be having a brainstorm on Tuesday to explore prospects for linking the Iceland and Nordic interests in a coalition with those arising  in Asia and Africa through the efforts of many of our colleagues.

Thus, it’ll be very interesting to brainstorm with you further on Thursday on how to most effectively create such a global coalition.

Thanks, and Onwards,

Dennis

PS I was particularly excited to learn recently from Ted Parson all about the great success at the Latin America SRM workshop in January. And to learn from him that there are some really promising opportunities to do much useful follow up work in that region as well. Cheers.

As background to this meeting, here is a draft chapter from my forthcoming book on the Albedo Accord, exploring how the Montreal Protocol provides a governance model for action to restore planetary albedo.
