Book Synopsis Climate Geoengineering: Science, Law and Governance by : Wil Burns

Download or read book Climate Geoengineering: Science, Law and Governance written by Wil Burns and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sobering reality of the disconnect between the resolve of the world community to effectively address climate change, and what actually needs to be done, has led to increasing impetus for consideration of a suite of approaches collectively known as “climate geoengineering,” or “climate engineering.” Indeed, the feckless response of the world community to climate change has transformed climate geoengineering from a fringe concept to a potentially mainstream policy option within the past decade. This volume will explore scientific, political and legal issues associated with the emerging field of climate geoengineering. The volume encompasses perspectives on both of the major categories of climate geoengineering approaches, carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management.
