Hi everyone,
As an IPCC author who was involved in the SRM discussion during the Summary
for Policymakers meeting I can say that the Climate Home News story is not
entirely accurate. Multiple countries held certain positions.
Also, SRM is now fully within the remit of the WG2 report given
Section 16.1.2 explains the rationale stating "Given that solar radiation
modification (SRM) could also be considered a response with significant
implications for climate risks across scales, this chapter also includes
Cross-Working Group Box SRM."
Therefore what’s in WG2 is essentially what
Andrew,
Here’s part of the backstory at least according to climate change news:
“According to sources monitoring the talks, the US stood alone in seeking to
keep a draft paragraph referencing solar radiation modification (SRM), carbon
dioxide removals (CDR) and carbon capture and storage (CCS)
Oddly there's a section on SRM in the summary for policymakers - I would
have assumed that would belog in the Working Group 3 report Here's my
take:

Geoengineering - The report

The Working Group II contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report
assesses the impacts of climate change, looking at ecosystems,
biodiversity, and human communities at global and regional levels. It also
reviews vulnerabilities and the capacities and limits
