The science, ethics and governance of geoengineering interventions and policies need to balance innovation with responsibility. What role can geoengineering realistically play in addressing climate change, and what are the potential unintended consequences we must weigh? Who should have the authority to deploy or regulate geoengineering technologies, and what international frameworks are needed? How do we ensure that geoengineering solutions do not disproportionately impact vulnerable regions and communities?

Panelists:

  • David Keith, Founding Faculty Director, Climate Systems Engineering initiative; Professor of Geophysical Sciences
  • R. Max Holmes, President & Chief Executive Officer, Woodwell Climate Research Center
  • Paul Markwell, Senior Associate, CERAWeek, S&P Global
