Over 45 members of DSG’s Climate Intervention Network gathered in Helsinki for two days of learning and connection. The interdisciplinary group engaged in futures-thinking workshops, discussed research’s governance and decolonization, and also attended Operaatio Arktis’ ATLAS25. Enjoy some photos!

Check out DSG’s latest newsletter, which highlights the communities we’ve connected with in the last few months and the conversations we’ve facilitated. From New York to Bogotá to Helsinki, and policymakers to researchers to civil society, read about these engagements. mailchi.mp/sgdeliberati...

DSG welcomes Simon Nicholson, Associate Prof. and Associate Dean for Research in the School of International Service at American University, as Senior Scholar. Simon brings expertise on lessons learned from emerging tech governance and will explore appropriate roles for the private sector in SRM.

DSG’s @aliahassan.bsky.social and Clara Botto had the recent opportunity to speak at an SRM conference by the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation and the Institute for Climate and Society. Watch their contributions at the following link at 5:01:40 and 5:56:55. bit.ly/4nFR6qc

DSG and @chesapeakeclimate.bsky.social were thrilled to gather over 100 Climate Week-goers in the center of NYC to discuss how civil society is engaging on #SRM, who needs to be included, and more. We’re immensely grateful to our panelists and moderators for the engaging discussions. #ClimateWeekNYC

It’s no secret there's many unknowns when it comes to #SRM. The uncertainty surrounding its impacts and subsequent effects on social and political systems highlights the need for further work. Here’s some of what we know about the physical impacts, and what we don’t yet. Read more: bit.ly/3JRe1ji

SRM has the potential to either enhance or undermine human rights in multiple ways. With limited resources previously available at the intersection of human rights and SRM, DSG has built two guides, in partnership with Nicole Santiago at Trilateral Research. Read them now: bit.ly/47fj1a

“Informing people about your research isn’t enough if they have zero knowledge on what SRM means.” DSG’s Clara Botto shared her perspectives on governance at Arctic Repair 2025, underscoring the need for engagement and co-creation in all climate intervention work. Watch now: bit.ly/415fmIQ

Reminder: Applications are now open for DSG's Residency Program! If you're an early- or mid-career professional working in climate science, policy, ethics, law, or humanities and interested in expanding regionally grounded, socially relevant approaches to solar geoengineering governance, see below.

To break through the misinformation surrounding recent devastating natural disasters in the US, we’re resharing a tool that lays out the differences between weather modification and SRM. Despite similarities in potential outcomes, the two vary in many ways. See DSG's breakdown bit.ly/3Ug37p1

We’re less than two weeks away from the 2025 @degrees.ngo Global Forum! From May 12 to 16, we will be joining researchers, policymakers, civil society representatives, and journalists from around the world in Cape Town to explore the science, ethics, and governance of SRM

This week, DSG, in collaboration with The Energy and Resources Institute in New Delhi and Dr. Kate Ricke of @ucsandiego.bsky.social and @scrippsocean.bsky.social, co-hosted the Solar Geoengineering Scenarios Development Workshop in New Delhi, India.

Yesterday, DSG's Hassaan Sipra joined The Degrees Initiative side event during #COP29 for a discussion about #SRM research and governance, emphasizing the growing #civilsociety interest in SRM, driven by the urgent need to prevent siloed and exclusive decision making. enb.iisd.org/events/solar...
