As the world inches closer to the 1.5°C warming threshold, geoengineering is increasingly being considered as a radical solution to fight climate change. Of the climate engineering options available today, cloud seeding and solar radiation management – two methods to tinker with moisture and sunlight levels in the atmosphere – are considered to have the highest potential of achieving humanity’s mitigation targets. But the security implications of these untested technologies are still insufficiently understood and range from their potential weaponization to world-altering consequences on plants and wildlife.

To explore the latest geoengineering techniques and their implications for global security, we are delighted to invite you to a private discussion with Professor James Dyke from the University of Exeter and Professor Olaf Corry from the University of Leeds. They will share insights on the latest developments in climate engineering, tease out the governance implications around these technologies, and analyze their potential impact on the ecological system.
