项目摘要

The aim of this project is to provide a theoretically and historically grounded, policy-relevant analysis to inform solar geoengineering governance initiatives. It will investigate whether the frequent comparison to the governance of nuclear weapons provides an effective roadmap for solar geoengineering governance and use its analysis of the nuclear analogy to advance academic and policy debates on the potential for feasible, effective, and equitable solar geoengineering governance. The increasingly visible consequences of climate change are leading scientists and policymakers to consider the extreme measure of trying to cool global temperatures by reducing incoming solar radiation, a process called solar geoengineering. The most prominent solar geoengineering strategy being considered is Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), which involves spraying reflective particles into the stratosphere. If the technology is to be safely developed and used it will require extensive international cooperation to govern and changing international political conditions could make it more difficult to control. Nuclear weapons governance is frequently identified as a useful comparison for SAI and references to nuclear governance in solar geoengineering literature currently serve to provide political reassurance that it will be possible to design effective global governance. However, the relevance of nuclear weapons governance for SAI is underexamined and comparisons between the two technologies minimise or ignore persistent challenges in nuclear governance. These challenges in nuclear governance may suggest lessons for developing solar geoengineering governance. This is an interdisciplinary project combining archival research, participant observation and key stakeholder interviews to examine historical and current linkages between these two potentially planet-altering technologies to provide more informed analysis for emerging solar geoengineering governance initiatives.

该项目的目的是提供一个有理论和历史依据的、与政策相关的分析，为太阳能地球工程治理举措提供信息。它将调查经常与核武器治理相提并论是否为太阳地球工程治理提供了有效的路线图，并将利用其对核类比的分析来推动关于可行、有效和公平的太阳地球工程治理潜力的学术和政策辩论。气候变化日益明显的后果促使科学家和政策制定者考虑采取极端措施，试图通过减少传入的太阳辐射来冷却全球气温，这一过程被称为太阳地球工程。正在考虑的最突出的太阳地球工程战略是平流层气溶胶注入(SAI)，它涉及向平流层喷洒反射粒子。如果要安全地开发和使用这项技术，它将需要广泛的国际合作来管理，而不断变化的国际政治条件可能会使其更难控制。核武器治理经常被认为是SAI的有益比较，目前太阳地球工程文献中提到的核治理有助于提供政治保证，即有可能设计出有效的全球治理。然而，核武器治理对SAI的相关性没有得到充分研究，两种技术之间的比较将核治理中的持续挑战降至最低或被忽视。核治理方面的这些挑战可能会为发展太阳能地球工程治理提供经验教训。这是一个跨学科项目，结合了档案研究、参与者观察和与主要利益攸关方的访谈，以审查这两项可能改变地球的技术之间的历史和当前联系，以便为新出现的太阳能地球工程治理举措提供更有见地的分析。
