Engineering our Planet: From Designed Interventions to Interdisciplinary Programs and Participatory Platform

March 26-27th
ASU Barrett & O'Connor Washington Center
1800 I St NW 8th floor 
Washington, DC
Between 2021 and 2024, Public, private, and philanthropic drivers coordinated an unprecedented, multi-sectoral effort to advance engineering at the planetary scale forward through research and development in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar geoengineering (SG). Like the drive on the technological front, the initiatives at the social front also came to a grinding halt with the change in U.S. administration. In many of these efforts, there was an explicit attempt to engage communities, stakeholders, and the broader public. CSPO was on the front lines, from engaging communities in Vinton, LA, and Vancouver, Canada, to consulting scientists in Barcelona, Spain, and Glasgow, Scotland, to convening policy stakeholders in Washington, DC. This two-part convening will highlight critical results and outcomes of those efforts to stimulate, simulate, and facilitate connections with complementary initiatives to inform current actions and future possibilities.
