Join the National Academies on June 20 and 22, 2023 for a two-day virtual workshop focused on grounding climate interventions within the framework of earth systems science. Climate intervention techniques are increasingly technically feasible, but remain highly controversial due to their transboundary nature, their risks of unintended harmful impacts, and the presence of fundamental ethical concerns. Advancing understanding of the potential efficacy, cascading environmental and social impacts, and societal acceptability of climate intervention requires broad public engagement and ongoing collaboration across a diverse spectrum of expertise.

About this workshop
This virtual workshop draws on the recent National Academies report Next Generation Earth Systems Science at the National Science Foundation to present climate intervention as an integrative but expansive framework, encompassing both natural and social processes. This convening will create a dialogue covering the human, physical, and technical dimensions of climate interventions, and will situate these considerations within the context of convergent research and the capacities of the National Science Foundation.
