�ٱ��پ��ǲ�:��What happens when countries fail to meet their climate targets to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius? This interactive panel will tackle the potential necessity of climate interventions – a group of technologies which could be used to address the ‘overshoot’ of temperature targets, atmospheric CO2 levels, and other effects of climate change. It is intended to provide a high-level overview of the risks, co-benefits, and necessity of technology-based carbon dioxide removals (CDR) and other climate interventions as part of the climate mitigation toolkit.

When All Else Fails: Governing Solar Geoengineering

Burgess Langshaw Power, PhD Candidate in Global Governance, Balsillie School of International Affairs

Description: As we continue failing to meet our climate targets, we increase changes of extreme responses. One such possible response is the deployment of ‘solar geoengineering’ – a technology to artificially cool the planet. While this might seem tempting, it will unquestionably bring a wide array of social, economic, and environmental impacts – without actually addressing climate change. This talk will explore how it might be possible to govern this new technology which could reshape the planet.

Join us on March 16th

Burgess is a PhD student at the . Burgess’ research explores the governance of atypical technologies, such as solar geoengineering, in the Canadian context.

Hope is a PhD Student in Global Environmental Governance at the , where her doctoral research focuses on the potential fragmentation of ocean governance beyond national jurisdiction.

Stephanie is a PhD Student in Global Governance at the . Her research aims to outline the systems of policies and infrastructure that will be necessary to support the development of carbon dioxide removal and direct air carbon capture and storage technologies.

Kasra is a Ph.D. candidate in System Design Engineering at the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ. His research explores complexities and uncertainties around socio-environmental systems, climate change mitigation, and adaptation.
