*Techno-moral change through solar geoengineering: How geoengineering
challenges sustainability*

Benjamin Hofbauer

ABSTRACT

This article brings a new perspective to the ethical debate on
geoengineering through stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), incorporating
the emerging techno-moral change scholarship into the discussion
surrounding sustainability. The techno-moral change approach can help us
understand different ways in which technology might shape society. First,
it helps highlight how values and norms are interrelated. Second, it shows
that techno-moral change can happen even if the technology is in no way
realized. Through the introduction of two techno-moral vignettes, two
diametrically opposed ways in which SAI forces us to rethink sustainability
and our relationship with nature are suggested. SAI could lead to a
situation of entrenchment, wherein sustainability as a norm is undermined,
or transformation where the necessity of acting according to sustainability
is highlighted.
