Insights Wales | Solar radiation modification: What’s the debate, and why does it matter?


2nd April 2025, 13:30 – 14:30, UK time, online event

Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) covers a range of technologies that have the potential to cool the Earth’s climate. SRM is therefore the subject of intense and controversial debate around whether it might provide a means to tackle global warming and the devastating impacts of climate change.

Three major reports have recently been published by the European Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM) and the European Group on Ethics (EGE). Between them, they set out the evidence and present policy recommendations on SRM to the European Commission.
