EU moves to monitor rogue solar geoengineering efforts
Original: EU wants to track potential rogue efforts to block out the sun
The European Union is calling for systems to detect and track unauthorised attempts to deliberately cool the planet by blocking sunlight, a practice known as solar geoengineering. Officials are concerned that individual states, companies or private actors could carry out such interventions unilaterally, with consequences that cross borders. The proposal is expected to feed into a wider international debate on governing climate-altering technologies.
Why now: Solar geoengineering is attracting growing attention as climate change worsens and no international rules currently govern who may alter sunlight.
