SRM & Development: Estimating the Upside, Confronting the Limits
Oct 29, 2025 — 12:15 pm - 1:00 PMScène D - Musée de la Marine

Description
This Climate Overshoot Commission session will explore how Solar Radiation Management (SRM) could reduce climate-related harms and ease pressures on vulnerable economies, while recognizing the limits, risks, and governance challenges that keep it a research topic rather than a policy tool. It will examine the latest evidence on its social and economic impacts, distributional impacts across countries, and the uncertainties that shape how SRM research should be designed and interpreted. The session will aim to clarify what further research would require, ensuring that knowledge generated serves developing-country priorities without undermining mitigation.
