SRM moratoria - Bodansky

Daniel Bodansky discusses his recent article on the drawbacks of a global moratorium on solar radiation management deployment.

The conversation critiques whether a moratorium is feasible or effective, arguing it could hinder critical research, be difficult to enforce, and unintentionally become a proxy for a permanent ban. Instead, the discussion highlights the need for more research and stronger governance frameworks to better understand and responsibly manage geoengineering.
