Solar radiation management as part of the global policy response to climate change: challenges and opportunities for action

研究主题：工程建议、太阳地球工程和公共政策太阳辐射管理(SRM)技术已被提出，以减少温室气体(GHG)浓度上升造成的一些气候风险。尽管SRM可以在不影响排放水平的情况下帮助降低全球平均气温，但它带来了重大的伦理、法律和社会风险，必须在任何部署之前紧急解决(Chhetri，Netra等人(2018)管理太阳辐射管理)。华盛顿特区：美国大学气候工程评估论坛。Https://doi.org/10.17606/M6SM17).由于最近的气候政策框架以减少温室气体排放为导向(例如，《巴黎协定》和《国家确定的贡献》)，可持续土地管理在国家和国际协定中的地位仍然不确定。这项研究的目的是通过探索性访谈、跨学科研讨会和通过政策分析对国际协定进行审查，来审查为什么国家和国际协定经常被拒绝，以及如何将其纳入政策框架。这项研究将调查工程建议背后的理论，并检查政策制定者是否有效地应用了这些建议。这项研究还应该有助于支持以工程为重点的问题的跨学科方法。最后，这项研究将为战略资源管理政策和技术设计提供潜在的有效方法，以支持英国未来的战略资源管理政策发展。

Research Topic: Engineering advice, solar geoengineering and public policySolar Radiation Management (SRM) techniques have been proposed to reduce some of the climate risks caused by rising greenhouse gases (GHG) concentration. Although SRM could help lower global mean temperatures without impacting emissions level, it raises significant ethical, legal and social risks that must be urgently addressed before any deployment (Chhetri, Netra, et.al (2018) Governing Solar Radiation Management. Washington, DC: Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment, American University. https://doi.org/10.17606/M6SM17). As recent climate policy frameworks are oriented towards decreasing GHG emissions (e.g., Paris Agreement and the National Determined Contributions), the position SRM should have in national and international agreements is still uncertain. The study aims to examine why SRM is often rejected from national and international agreements and how it might be included in policy frameworks, using exploratory interviews, transdisciplinary workshops and a review of international agreements via policy analysis. The research will investigate the theory underlying engineering advice and examine whether they are effectively applied by policy makers. The study should also help underpin a transdisciplinary approach of engineering-focused issues. Finally, the research shall offer potential effective approaches to SRM policy and technical design to underpin future SRM policy development for the UK.
