Solar Radiation Modification (SRM)

Concepts, Risks and Governance of intervention in the global climate system through solar geoengineering


Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) can neither conserve the current nor restore the pre-industrial climate. It would create an unpredictable new global climate with significant regional impacts. This brochure explains the risks of SRM for food security, justice and actual climate action. It explains the various SRM approaches and how they are supposed to work. It also describes the state of regulation and formulates conditions for responsible governance, including a non-use agreement.
