Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project

The Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) is an international research initiative that aims to understand the potential impacts of geoengineering techniques, which are methods proposed to counteract climate change. By using different climate models, researchers simulate various geoengineering approaches—like reflecting sunlight or removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere—to assess their effectiveness and possible side effects. This collaborative effort helps scientists compare results, improve predictions, and provide insights for policy discussions on addressing global warming. Ultimately, it seeks to inform decision-makers about the potential benefits and risks of these interventions.
