环境政策往往拖延问题的解决。这种观点定义了这样的“权宜之计”，考虑的例子，并适用于太阳能地球工程评估stockgaps.Contemporary环境政策的新框架充满了措施，不完全解决问题，而是提出了“争取时间”的发展更持久的解决方案。我们将这些措施定义为“权宜之计”，并从野火风险管理，氢氯氟烃法规和科罗拉多河水管理的例子研究。我们引入了一个分析框架来评估权宜之计，并将此框架应用于太阳能地球工程，这是一个有争议的权宜之计，以减少排放。研究权宜之计作为一种独特的应对环境危机的措施，可以帮助我们权衡其与替代政策和管理措施相比的优点。
Environmental policy often delays addressing problems. This Perspective defines such 'stopgap measures', considers examples, and applies to solar geoengineering a new framework for assessing stopgaps.Contemporary environmental policy is replete with measures that do not fully resolve a problem but are proposed instead to 'buy time' for the development of more-durable solutions. We define such measures as 'stopgap measures' and examine examples from wildfire risk management, hydrochlorofluorocarbon regulation and Colorado River water management. We introduce an analytical framework to assess stopgaps and apply this framework to solar geoengineering, a controversial stopgap for reducing emissions. Studying stopgaps as a distinct response to environmental crises can help us weigh their merits in comparison to alternative policy and management measures.
