Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Environmental and Resource Economics"
DOI: 10.1007/s10640-018-0261-9
Abstract: Abstract Solar geoengineering (SGE) constitutes a viable option to ameliorate anthropogenic temperature rise. However, it does not simultaneously compensate for anthropogenic changes in further climate variables in a perfect manner. Here, we investigate to what… read more here.

Reflections on a hypothetical decentralized grassroots deployment solar geoengineering scenario
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Futures"
DOI: 10.1016/j.futures.2021.102811
Abstract: Abstract What if solar geoengineering were enacted not through careful intergovernmental deliberations or the actions of a rogue state, but by millions of private citizens taking matters into their own hands? This thought experiment—the subject… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/d41586-018-03917-8
Abstract: The nations that are most vulnerable to climate change must drive discussions of modelling, ethics and governance, argue A. Atiq Rahman, Paulo Artaxo, Asfawossen Asrat, Andy Parker and 8 co-signatories. The nations that are most… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-01606-0
Abstract: Solar geoengineering refers to a range of proposed methods for counteracting global warming by artificially reducing sunlight at Earth’s surface. The most widely known solar geoengineering proposal is stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), which has impacts… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/09644016.2018.1479101
Abstract: ABSTRACT Solar geoengineering, which seeks to cool the planet by reflecting a small fraction of sunlight back into space, has drawn the attention of scientists and policymakers as climate change remains unabated. Unlike mitigation, solar… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/09644016.2021.1933763
Abstract: Solar geoengineering (SG) may be a helpful tool to reduce harms from climate change, yet further research into its potential benefits and risks must occur prior to any implementation. So far, howev... read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/24694452.2018.1426435
Abstract: Climate change is increasingly understood as a potential crisis for global financial stability and thus liberal-capitalist hegemony. The primary crisis management strategy is “green capitalism”—renewable energy, carbon markets, natural capital, and so on—that aims to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ac5715
Abstract: Solar geoengineering has been suggested as a means to cool the planet and ameliorate climate impacts in the Arctic. However, few studies approach this idea from the viewpoint of Arctic communities. We explore the substantive… read more here.
