AGU24: Frontiers of Geophysics Plenary Panel: Climate Intervention Research Issues and Opportunities: Navigating a Thoughtful and Inclusive Path Forward

December 10, 2024 @ 12:30 14:00 America/Washington DC

DSG’s Director of Youth Engagement Clara Botto will be a presenter during this discussion at AGU24. The AGU Frontiers of Geophysics Plenary Lecture at AGU24 is designed to provide insights and stimulate discussion around important emerging topics of our time.  This year, the Frontiers of Geophysics Plenary session will be a panel discussion featuring invited experts to provide perspectives on climate intervention research in a moderated question and answer format.  AGU has taken the position that a robust body of scientific evidence about climate intervention, guided by an ethical framework, should be consulted as society weighs its options for addressing climate change. Therefore, AGU has facilitated the development of the recently released Ethical Framework Principles for Climate Intervention Research.  This session, to be moderated by a nationally prominent climate science journalist, will feature a cross section of informed but different perspectives on climate intervention research, a rapidly evolving and sometimes controversial topic.
