Abstract
Climate change arises from a fundamental imbalance in the Earth’s energy budget. While renewable energy technologies are essential for reducing emissions, the slow response of the climate system has led to growing interest in approaches that directly influence how energy is absorbed and reflected by the planet. This talk introduces the concept of climate repair, including methods such as marine cloud brightening, sea ice thickening, and stratospheric aerosol injection. It will explore how these approaches may complement existing climate strategies, alongside the key challenges and uncertainties that remain.
Series This talk is part of the Cambridge Society for the Application of Research (CSAR) series.
