S3E56: Could there be a just solar geoengineering?w/ Shuchi Talati, Founder of The Alliance for Just Deliberation on Solar Geoengineering

Published: Oct. 5, 2023, 8 a.m.

Solar geoengineering. It's not just a question of whether or not to do it, but of how it might be done and why.

\n

This week we are joined by Shuchi Talati, founder of The Alliance for Just Deliberation on Solar Geoengineering, to talk about who is making decisions about solar geoengineering and whether or not populations most vulnerable to climate change have a seat at the table.

\n

Solar geoengineering or \u201cSolar Radiation Modification/Management (SRM)\u201d is the large-scale and intentional intervention to increase the amount of sunlight reflected back into space. The purpose is to temporarily limit temperature increase.

\n

Shuchi walks us through why the Alliance is not for or against SRM, why refusing to discuss or research RSM is potentially an inherently privileged standpoint, and why she believes we should center voices from regions already experiencing horrific climate impacts.

\n

Listen in to find out who is currently researching SRM, what the potential risks and benefits are, and how the Alliance plans to make such a controversial topic more open and accessible.
