As the climate crisis worsens, scientists and policymakers are increasingly considering geoengineering concepts as a potential solution. However, deploying or researching technology, like solar geoengineering, remains highly controversial, with scientists on either end of the divide.
In this Mongabay webinar, journalists will learn how to better cover solar geoengineering, while exploring the policy, research, and ethical questions surrounding it.
