Geoengineering: a climate of uncertainty?

Geoengineering - sometimes called climate intervention or climate engineering - is the deliberate intervention in the Earth’s climate and describes many different types of activity to control or manage temperatures on Earth. Youth have been at the forefront of climate justice movements but tend to be excluded from environmental policy-making discussions and decisions.

Working with partners at Youth and Environment Europe, King’s College London, the University of Antwerp, the Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica Celso Suckow da Fonseca, our aim is to identify the questions and priorities of young people in relation to different responses to the climate crisis, including different methods of geoengineering. Through international, interdisciplinary dialogue about geoengineering, we intend to produce informed climate action in pursuit of UN Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action.
