Dear colleagues, New C2G Briefing Note | Solar Radiation Modification in the IPCC Working Group III Report
On April 4, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Working Group III report<https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-working-group-3/> which addresses the mitigation of climate change. In addition to the report’s primary focus on emissions reductions, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation modification (SRM) are also assessed. This new C2G briefing note<https://bit.ly/WGIIIBrief> identifies where SRM and its governance is addressed in the report and explores what the potential policy implications might be. You can read C2G’s briefing notes on all three Working Group reports (including versions in 中文<https://bit.ly/WGIIIBrief_CH> Español<https://bit.ly/WGIIBrief_ES>, and Français<https://bit.ly/WGIIIBrief_FR>) by visiting our dedicated IPCC webpage<https://www.c2g2.net/intergovernmental-panel-on-climate-change/>. Read<https://bit.ly/WGIIIBrief> Report Solar Radiation Modification: Governance Gaps and Challenges New C2G Report Faced with the increasing likelihood of overshooting 1.5C global warming, solar radiation modification is being explored as a potential approach to reduce climate change impacts in addition to emissions reductions, removals, and adaptation. The IPCC’s recent Working Group II report <https://www.c2g2.net/intergovernmental-panel-on-climate-change/#WGII> highlights that there is currently no dedicated, formal international governance for research, development, demonstration, or deployment of solar radiation modification. So what exactly are the governance gaps and challenges surrounding this emerging climate-altering approach? And how might they be addressed? In a new report <https://bit.ly/SRMGovGaps> commissioned and published by C2G, expert international authors provide an overview of the current governance gaps and challenges around solar radiation modification. The report sets out some of the key governance dimensions relating to research and potential use, summarizes existing governance, and identifies remaining gaps. The report provides a comprehensive overview of governance gaps and challenges, based on the most recent research evidence. The summary<https://bit.ly/SRMGovGaps_sum> of the report’s key insights is also available in 中文<https://bit.ly/SRMGovGaps_CH>, Français<https://bit.ly/SRMGovGaps_FR>, and Español<https://bit.ly/SRMGovGaps_ES>.
