The study will develop a detailed trans-disciplinary research agenda and recommend research governance approaches for climate intervention strategies that reflect sunlight to cool Earth. It will address research needs and relevant research governance in tandem, such that the understanding and thinking on each can inform the other. This study focuses on sunlight reflection strategies that involve atmospheric interventions, including marine cloud brightening, stratospheric aerosol injection, and cirrus cloud modification.
