SAI, a type of solar geoengineering (SG), seeks to cool the planet by releasing aerosols into the stratosphere to reflect sunlight. The co-authors here are members of the independent advisory committee (AC) convened by Harvard in 2019 to develop a research governance framework for SCoPEx. We frame below the importance of SCoPEx and SG governance and summarize the governance framework developed by the AC [detailed in (1)]. We then move beyond the report to reflect on the process of developing that framework, the challenges we encountered, and the sources of tension encountered in its implementation. *Source: Science * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
