The report documents and elaborates upon a workshop held at Yale University which applied an imaginative technique called “scenario planning,” developed in military and business circles to pressure-test strategies and plans against a wide variety of plausible futures, to the the most significant uncertainties in the emerging and controversial research area of solar geoengineering. It was pre-released at the Fourth Interdisciplinary Geoengineering Summer School and officially released on August 15th, 2013
The workshop organizers simultaneously announced the creation of the Geoengineering Scenarios Working Group, which will explore the use of scenario methods in the geoengineering research context by conducting its own activities and collecting other relevant scenario work. The report is now available from the GSWG’s website (http://ge-scenarios.org). It was sponsored by the Yale Climate and Energy Institute ( http://climate.yale.edu/) in partnership with the Centre for International Governance Innovation (http://www.cigionline.org) and with additional support from the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy ( http://envirocenter.yale.edu).
