Updated report – The Solar Geoengineering Ecosystem: Key Actors Across the Landscape of the Field

The Alliance for Just Deliberation on Solar Geoengineering (DSG) and the Forum on Climate Engineering Assessment (FCEA) have released the latest edition of their landmark report, The Solar Geoengineering Ecosystem: Key Actors Across the Landscape of the Field. Originally published in November 2023, this version (updated in January 2025) captures the dynamic shifts and growing momentum in this critical area of climate intervention.

As public interest, scientific research, and policy discussions around solar geoengineering (also known as solar radiation modification, or SRM) accelerate, the revised report provides a comprehensive resource for understanding the field’s evolving landscape. It highlights who is involved, their accomplishments, and what might come next, across diverse sectors, institutions, and geographies.

Authored by Professor Wil Burns and Dr. Shuchi Talati, the report demystifies the global SRM ecosystem for policymakers, researchers, and the public. By reducing barriers to understanding this rapidly evolving field, the report aims to promote informed engagement and thoughtful governance.
