https://www.resiliencer.org/workshop Workshop Utrecht 12/09/22 The RESILIENCER (Ramifications of Experimentation into SRM In Light of its Impacts on Existential, Negative-state and Civilisational Endangering Risks) workshop will provide a forum for a wide range of SRM scholars to explore the impacts of SRM research and deployment on global catastrophic risks.
The workshop will attempt to explore a whole host of questions about how SRM research and/or deployment could act to increase and decrease certain extreme risks, particularly focused on heavy tailed risks which are commonly neglected in the discussion. The aim will to be to provide an environment for scholars who are both in favour and sceptical of research and/or deployment to engage in knowledge generation, generating key questions for enquiry and and attempting to challenge points of preexisting wisdom. We hope to create an environment where researchers are encouraged to provide unique perspectives, including the strongest steelmanning of viewpoints opposed to theirs that they can. There will also be the generation and evaluation of scenarios. The questions of the relation of SRM to GCRs has been heavily neglected in the literature thus far, and so this workshop hopes to engage researchers from across the field to get as wide a range of views as possible. Having such a wide range is particularly important, as it helps to buttress against the dangers of locking in or unfairly privileging certain assumptions, viewpoints and modes of enquiry. We really hope that as many people as possible can attend. The main focus will be on discussions rather than presentations, maximising input from each of the participants. The workshop will be taking place all day on the 12th September 2022 at in the Minnaert Building at Utrecht University. More information about the location, agenda and other relevant detailswill be sent to you once your attendance is confirmed. Lunch will be provided. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
