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.
