Solar Geoengineering Research Program

The Solar Geoengineering Research Program investigates methods to intentionally reflect a small amount of sunlight back into space to cool Earth's climate and counteract global warming. It explores techniques like injecting aerosols into the stratosphere, similar to volcanic eruptions, to reduce temperature rise. The program aims to understand the potential benefits, risks, and ethical considerations of such interventions, ensuring informed decisions about their possible use. It does not promote active deployment but emphasizes research to assess whether solar geoengineering could be a safe and effective part of broader climate strategy.
