Solar Radiation Modification: What’s at stake for society?

This event has ended.

Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) covers a range of technologies that have the potential to cool the Earth’s climate. SRM is therefore the subject of intense and controversial debate around whether it might provide a means to tackle global warming and the devastating impacts of climate change.

What are the perspectives and interests of some of the key stakeholders, such as the public, business and political leaders?  How are stories and narratives around SRM developed and presented? How should SRM activities, including research and (non-)deployment of the technology, be managed and governed?  What stance should the EU take on policy, and in international negotiations on SRM?

Join us for this interactive webinar, which is free and open to all. It is the second in a webinar series that considers the issues around SRM.
