I was especially impressed by the researchers from the 35 teams that we support across the Global South, and by the extraordinary work from my colleagues over the past several months to make this happen. The Forum felt like a major step forward for global, inclusive conversations on SRM. 2/2

Jesse Reynolds @jreynolds.org · May 16

@degrees.ngo just concluded the Degrees Global Forum -- the largest gathering on solar radiation modification (SRM) to date, in Cape Town. The four days of talks, conversations, connections, and more have been truly exciting. 1/2

"If we're going to continue engaging with SRM seriously, then how we engage with people - outside this room, past our disciplines, and beyond our datasets – matters just as much as what we're researching." Trisha Patel - Inaugural Saleemul Huq prize winner, closing #DGF2025 🌍

Fig 2 and this paragraph jumped out to me.
Do residents of the Global South generally trust institutions and experts more, more generally than in SRM & CDR?

Jesse Reynolds @jreynolds.org · Jan 24

There will be two more webinars on the EU's emerging thinking regarding SRM

SRM: What’s at stake for society?
3 Feb, 15:00-16:00 CET

SRM: What are the technologies, and what are the risks?
11 Mar 2025, 14:00-15:00 CET

Jesse Reynolds @jreynolds.org · Jan 24

I wrote a few words for @srm360.bsky.social about what the 2nd Trump administration might mean for climate change and SRM.
I was joined by @davidkeith.bsky.social and Jane Long.
srm360.org/perspective/...

What Do the Announcements From the New US Administration Mean for SRM?

Experts react to the climate policy announcements from the new US administration and consider how they could affect the debate on SRM.

Jesse Reynolds @jreynolds.org · Jan 24

I remind climate & technology policy experts of this great job opportunity: Geoengineering Law & Policy Project Director, Emmett Institute on Climate Change & the Environment.

*Possible* flexibility within US on candidate's location.

That is reasonable.

I find it odd (but not surprising) that they do not cite Parson and Keith 2013, also in Science. They called for a moratorium on large-scale SRM and for small-scale, responsible research to proceed.

End the Deadlock on Governance of Geoengineering Research

Can scientific self-regulation control small-scale research, or is governmental regulation needed?

The Degrees Initiative @degrees.ngo · Jan 2

Our @j-reynolds.bsky.social was also quoted in @eenews.bsky.social: “Despite decades of efforts, greenhouse gas emissions are still too high, and overshooting the 1.5 C global-warming goal becomes likelier every year.
