Governing the Future of Climate Intervention Research
As the impacts of climate change accelerate, conversations around climate intervention, specifically solar geoengineering, or sunlight reflection methods (SRM), are entering the mainstream debate. But who decides if and how these technologies are researched and tested?
Join us for a timely and thought-provoking panel discussion on SRM research governance where themes of science, justice, climate, and accountability intersect.
This event will bring together experts in science, policy, and governance to explore critical questions: What rules should guide SRM research today? How can transparency, public engagement, and global equity be ensured? Who gets a voice in decisions that could affect the entire planet?
Whether you’re a policymaker, researcher, advocate, or simply curious about the future of climate intervention, this conversation will offer valuable insights and perspectives on this rapidly evolving topic.
We’ll be hearing from a panel of some of the country’s top experts in this topic SRM and research governance, including:
Andrew Light, Former Assistant Secretary of Energy for International Affairs and Distinguished Fellow at the University of Chicago Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth
Shuchi Talati, Executive Director of Alliance for a Just Deliberation on Solar Geoengineering
Hannah Safford, Associate Director, Climate and Environment, Federation of American Scientists
Natasha Vindangos, Associate Vice President, Innovation and Technology, at Environmental Defense Fund
Join us on April 21st at 4:00 PM at the headquarters of the Federation of American Scientists to learn more. Hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be served.
