The severity of the climate change crisis has necessitated not only efforts to reduce emissions and mitigate greenhouse gases, but also adaptation measures to extend the time available for a response. Solar geoengineering is one such technology that seeks to increase the planet's overall reflectivity, much like how volcanic ash in the stratosphere reflects sunlight and cools the planet. However, the implementation of this technology involves manipulating the complex climate system on a massive scale, and its risks are a topic of concern for many scientists. We conducted interviews with a range of experts who hold different perspectives on the advantages and disadvantages of solar geoengineering. You can watch our explainer to gain a deeper understanding and form your own stance on the issue.
