Solar radiation management: a history of the governance and political milestones

Sikina Jinnah and Zachary Dove

An overview of the history of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) governance shows many developments, but they have largely occurred within a handful of countries in the Global North. An uptick in recent developments suggests SRM is gaining traction.

About this collection

Solar Radiation Management (SRM), or solar geoengineering, refers to emerging climate techniques aimed at reflecting some of the sunlight back into space to reduce global temperatures. Understanding the mechanisms and potential impacts of SRM, as well as the broader field of solar geoengineering, can refine climate models, leading to more accurate projections of their efficacy and risks. SRM has the potential to reduce climate impacts globally, yet it also carries significant risks and uncertainties.
