State commissioning of Solar Radiation Management geoengineering Andrew Lockley ORCID Icon Received 13 May 2018, Accepted 16 Oct 2019, Accepted author version posted online: 22 Nov 2020 Download citation https://doi.org/10.1080/21550085.2020.1848176 Abstract Solar Radiation Management (SRM) is a proposed response to Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW)[1][2]. Other papers consider private SRM provision[3], eg via Voluntary Carbon Offsets (VCO).[4] Limited VCO markets[5] would under-supply SRM, so state provision or mandating is possible. Public funding does not presume state execution; private subcontracting is feasible. Notwithstanding concerns about privatisation, we assume state commissioning of SRM - proposing and analysing plausible governance, by adapting extant proposals[6]. We consider two regulatory functions: legal/corporate; and scientific/technical. We briefly discuss mandatory, emissions-linked SRM funding[7] [8]. State contracting is deemed plausible, eg for historic emissions. For future emissions, mandatory polluter-pays SRM may be preferable.
