Climate Intervention in an Earth Systems Science Framework: A Workshop

Completed

Topics

The National Academies will convene a workshop to consider the application of an Earth system science approach to research related to emerging approaches to climate intervention. The workshop will address aspects of climate intervention research that lend themselves to an Earth system science approach, including potential unintended consequences, synergies, and interactions among proposed climate intervention strategies and other climate responses.

About Past Events

Description

The National Academies will convene a workshop to consider the application of climate interventions from an Earth Systems Science approach. The workshop will address aspects of climate intervention research that would benefit from an Earth Systems Science approach, including potential unintended consequences, and interactions among and comparisons between proposed climate intervention strategies and other climate responses. The committee will evaluate the spectrum of interventions from the prior National Academies’ reports focusing on multiple Earth systems (e.g., agricultural, coastal systems) to focus their discussions, with a goal of identifying crosscutting needs and opportunities for NSF to address those needs. The discussion will focus on scientific gaps, unintended consequences on Earth systems, and sustainability, governance, and ethical concerns.

The presentations and discussions at the workshop will be published as a workshop proceedings-in-brief prepared by a rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
