solar geoengineering

Geoengineering, climate engineering, climate intervention or climate altering technologies - even if new terms are constantly being found, they do not change the fact that has been known for decades: climate modification approaches harbor major risks for environment and society.

A number of ideas have emerged in recent years for potential interventions in the climate system to counteract global warming. What these so-called geoengineering measures all have in common is that they harbour risks for humans and the environment and can have a global impact. They should therefore also be regulated globally.
