SRM Hub Crawl: Building a Community for Responsible Solar Reflective Methods Research and Governance

​What if we could turn down the heat—literally?

​Join the Chesapeake Climate Action Network during New York Climate Week for a fun, fast-paced Solar Reflective Methods (SRM) Hub Crawl, exploring the science, possibilities, and big questions surrounding emerging approaches that could reflect a small amount of sunlight and temporarily cool the planet.

​While you eat and drink, hop between hubs for conversations with scientists, advocates, and climate thinkers working to research and understand these SRM technologies.

​Expect big climate questions, fresh ideas, good conversations, and plenty of NYC energy as we explore:

​What are solar reflective methods?

​What does the research tell us?

​Could these approaches ever complement emissions cuts and adaptation?

​Who gets to decide whether and how research moves forward?

​How can communities have a meaningful voice in the conversation?

​This isn’t a deployment pitch—and it’s definitely not a science lecture. It’s a chance to get curious, ask hard questions, and imagine what responsible climate research and governance could look like while having great food and drinks!

​Come for the science. Stay for the conversation. Leave with a few new questions.
