Reflecting Sunlight: Recommendations for Solar Geoengineering Research and Research Governance

by Policy and Global Affairs, Division on Earth and Life Studies, National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine, et al.

Climate change is creating impacts that are widespread and severe for individuals, communities, economies, and ecosystems around the world. While efforts to reduce emissions and adapt to climate impacts are the first line of defense, researchers are exploring other options to reduce warming. Solar geoengineering strategies are designed to cool Earth either by adding small reflective particles to the upper atmosphere, by increasing reflective cloud...
