RESEARCH

  1. Local Expertise. We must build capacity for poorer and more vulnerable people and countries to carry out their own research to help reduce their reliance on organizations from developed countries to provide information on solar climate intervention. There must be sufficient information and technology sharing, including resources, tools, and technologies.

  2. Diversity. We must involve a diverse set of perspectives in research and engage more youth on the topic. Currently, those who are opposed to research are dominating the debate. Those who are in favor should speak out more and have a platform to do so. This will help increase diversity in dialogues on research.

  3. Funding. We need greater funding for research and the means to scale this up and establish appropriate and publicly acceptable funding sources.

  4. Minimizing Impact. All research must be controlled, with low environmental impact, and have appropriate safeguards in place to ensure this.
