I was delighted to serve on the advisory committee for the newly released report from the Council on Foreign Relations, authored by Stewart Patrick. It describes the need for information and policy on reflecting sunlight from the atmosphere, or “solar climate intervention” (also called solar geoengineering) to reduce climate risks.
You can read the full report here.
It was also a pleasure to interview Stewart for the Council on Foreign Relations Term Member Virtual Meeting: Reflecting Sunlight to Cool the Planet.
With the planet warming at an alarming pace, there are currently three main approaches to managing risks from the changing climate: reducing emissions, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and adapting to build resilience and minimize the effects of the increase in temperature. CFR senior fellow Stewart Patrick discusses a potential fourth approach, known as solar geoengineering, that reflects sunlight back into space to reduce rising temperatures on Earth.
