Solar geoengineering roadmap needs $370M to inform deployment
a new report outlines experiments to understand solar geoengineering's effects, aiming for informed decisions on climate change mitigation.
reflective, a nonprofit, released a detailed roadmap for stratospheric aerosol injection sai research, outlining experiments, studies, and infrastructure needed for informed decisions on solar geoengineering. the report estimates that if done in a coordinated way, it would take about a decade and cost around $370 million. the organization aims to equip the world with data and tools for decision-making on sunlight reflection. however, some academics argue that outdoor experiments are not viable due to governance concerns.
