A Huge Policy and Scientific Gap in the UN Ocean Conference

At the 3rd UN Ocean Conference, governments advanced major ocean agreements, yet avoided formal discussion of emerging climate intervention technologies like marine carbon removal and solar geoengineering. In her reflection, Clara Botto highlights the danger of this silence, especially as private actors and unregulated experimentation move forward.
