Abstract

The article discusses the topic of solar geoengineering as a potential response to climate change. It explains that geoengineering involves deliberate alterations to the climate system to counteract climate change, with two main forms being carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation management (SRM). While CDR is widely used and recognized as crucial for addressing climate change, solar geoengineering remains controversial. The article highlights the lack of attention and research on solar geoengineering in Australia, despite its unique climate and geography. It also discusses the international debate and research on solar geoengineering, emphasizing the need for Australia to consider the potential regional impacts and governance of these interventions.
