U.S. Blocks U.N. Resolution on Geoengineering

What?

Summary

  • Governance issues around
    • Who should be responsible in the UN?
      • IPPC (US, Saudi...)
      • UN Enviro Assembly
    • CDR and SRM should not be handled with the same governance
      • It seems CDR will eventually be managed under Paris agreement / COPs
  • “It seems to me inconsistent to say, on the one hand, that global warming is the biggest problem that humanity faces, and then go on to say, on the other hand, but we shouldn’t even do research on SRM because it may pose risks,” he said. “Either climate change is the biggest problem we face or it’s not. And if it is, then it’s all hands on deck.”
