Co-CREATE - Conditions for Responsible Research of SRM –?Analysis, Co-creation, and Ethos

关于太阳辐射修正(SRM)的实验研究存在争议，人们担心这会分散人们对气候变化缓解的注意力，或导致危险的SRM使用。尚不清楚是否以及在何种条件和治理安排下进行实验性战略武器管理研究可能是减少不确定性和降低出现问题结果的可能性，包括在其他地方单方面部署的可取做法。共同创造试图通过共同创造范围、分析和参与开发原则和指导方针来帮助构建决策问题。该项目以一系列范围划分说明开始，概述了实验性SRM研究的关键维度，包括可能的案例及其地理、利害关系人和监管影响，这为概念性工作奠定了基础。然后，共同创建通过询问我们可以从治理类比中学到什么，以及各种(风险)评估框架如何帮助确定研究提案的关键特征，来分析和开发决策支持工具。共同创建组织还分析了可能的法律和程序条件，包括适当的参与。共同创造的意愿本身将使这些治理要素的发展进入广泛的利益攸关方和权利人对话，以验证初步分析工作，确保包括利益攸关方关注的不同方面，并加强审议能力。共同创建提出指导方针和原则，以便利有关当局就更广泛类别的可再生能源管理实验研究以及逐案决定作出决策。草案将在共同创建主办的会议上讨论，并在随后根据收到的反馈进行完善。拟议的原则和指导方针将建立在对科学价值、风险和减少风险效益的物理和政治层面的理解以及对项目期间共同确定的更广泛的价值观和关切的考虑的基础上。

Experimental research on solar radiation modification (SRM) is controversial and feared to distract from climate change mitigation or leading to dangerous SRM use. It is not clear whether and under which conditions and governance arrangements experimental SRM research may be desirable for reducing uncertainties and lowering the probability of problematic outcomes including unilateral deployment elsewhere. Co-CREATE seeks to help structure this decision problem through co-creative scoping, analysis, and engagement for the development of principles and guidelines. The project starts with a series of scoping notes that outline key dimensions of experimental SRM research including possible cases and their geographical, stake- and rightsholder, and regulatory implications, which ground the conceptual work. Co-CREATE then analyses and develops decision-support tools by asking what we can learn from governance analogues, and how various (risk) evaluation frameworks may help identify key characteristics of research proposals. Co CREATE furthermore analyses possible legal and procedural conditions including appropriate participation. Co-CREATE itself will for the development of these governance elements enter an extensive stakeholder and rightsholder dialogue that validates preliminary analytical work, ensures stakeholders’ diverse dimensions of concern are included, and strengthens deliberative capacity. Co-CREATE proposes guidelines and principles to facilitate decision-making by the relevant authorities on broader categories of experimental research of SRM as well as case-by-case decisions. A draft will be discussed at a Co-CREATE hosted conference and later refined based on feedback received. Proposed principles and guidelines will be grounded in a understanding of scientific merit, physical and political dimensions of risk and risk-attenuation benefit, and consideration of broader sets of values and concerns – co-creatively identified during the project.
