Geoengineering research

Geoengineering research explores large-scale methods to deliberately alter Earth’s environment, primarily to combat climate change. This includes techniques like solar radiation management, which aims to reflect sunlight away from the Earth, and carbon dioxide removal, which seeks to capture CO2 from the atmosphere. Researchers study the potential effectiveness, risks, and ethical implications of these methods. While geoengineering could provide solutions to climate issues, it raises concerns about unintended consequences and governance, making it a complex field that requires careful consideration and international collaboration.
