Headline: „International Governance of Geoengineering“: Panel discussion at the German Environment Ministry with IASS Director Mark Lawrence

Could climate change be combatted with measures like ocean iron fertilization or injection of aerosols into the atmosphere? What would be the consequences? With international climate policy progressing only slowly, measures to directly affecting the global climate are increasingly discussed. Such measures are called geo- or climate engineering. But who decides about their deployment? And what regulations are necessary and feasible?

Concrete recommendations for regulation have been developed based on a comprehensive study by the Ecologic Institute, conducted on behalf of the German Federal Environmental Agency. The results will be critically reviewed at the symposium “International Governance of Geoengineering” at the German Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety on March 20^th, 2013 by IASS director PD Dr. Mark Lawrence and other experts.
