Managing the risks of lack of governance around solar radiation modification

This side event will enable participants to gain a better understanding of solar radiation modification and the gaps around its governance, examining what we do and don’t know, the potential risks and benefits, and why the current international governance vacuum around SRM itself poses risks. The side event will also explore why and how strengthening the capacity and inclusion of youth and global south researchers may provide important insights to inform decision-making around managing the risks from global warming overshoot.

This side event is co-organized with the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and will include speakers from the IPCC, Perspectives Climate Research, the University of Cape Town, and a Youth representative from Bangladesh.
