Albedo Modification

Albedo modification is a type of climate intervention that aims to reflect more sunlight back into space to reduce global warming. It involves techniques like spreading reflective particles in the atmosphere or increasing reflective surfaces on Earth’s surface, such as white roofs or solar panels. The goal is to artificially boost Earth's albedo, or reflectivity, thereby cooling the planet. While it could provide a rapid way to counteract climate change, it also carries uncertainties and potential environmental risks, making careful research and consideration essential before any large-scale implementation.
