Dear colleagues Observing the discussion on climate interventions, especially solar radiation modification, for over a decade, I have often found a lack of distinction between research and deployment unhelpful for governance.
Indeed, advocacy for research or even the conduct of research on climate intervention technologies is often mistaken or portrayed as advocacy or a step toward deployment. This hinders research—including studies on technology risks—and weakens governance. Some argue that research inevitably leads to deployment, which is a tenuous claim. Yet, lacking knowledge does not prevent deployment; only careful, well-informed governance may. Our new brief outlines the different perspectives. 🔗 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/etjZRmCi Kind regards, Matthias Honegger Matthias Honegger *Program Director* *Climate Interventions* Work location: Brussels Email: *[email protected]* <[email protected]> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
