Deliberative Mapping of options for tackling climate change: Citizens and specialists ‘open up’ appraisal of geoengineering
Appraisals of deliberate, large-scale interventions in the earth's climate system, known collectively as 'geoengineering', have largely taken the form of narrowly framed and exclusive expert analyses that prematurely 'close down' upon particular proposals. Here, we present the findings from the first 'upstream' appraisal of geoengineering to deliberately 'open up' to a broader diversity of fram...
متن کاملTackling Regional Climate Change By Leaf Albedo Bio-geoengineering
The likelihood that continuing greenhouse-gas emissions will lead to an unmanageable degree of climate change has stimulated the search for planetary-scale technological solutions for reducing global warming ("geoengineering"), typically characterized by the necessity for costly new infrastructures and industries. We suggest that the existing global infrastructure associated with arable agricul...
متن کاملThe international politics of geoengineering: The feasibility of Plan B for tackling climate change
Geoengineering technologies aim to make large-scale and deliberate interventions in the climate system possible. A typical framing is that researchers are exploring a 'Plan B' in case mitigation fails to avert dangerous climate change. Some options are thought to have the potential to alter the politics of climate change dramatically, yet in evaluating whether they might ultimately reduce clima...
متن کاملImproving public health by tackling climate change
Across the world, climate change is now responsible for substantial mortality and morbidity, through direct effects on health and also by threatening the determinants of health. This commentary argues that adaptation policies to enhance resilience to adverse climate events are important, but must be coupled with determined action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The prize is synergy: many su...
متن کاملMulti-criteria improvement of options
Designing the way a complex system should evolve to better match the customers’ requirements provides an interesting class of applications for muticriteria techniques. The required models to support the improvement design of a complex system must include both preference models and system behavioral models. A MAUT model captures the decisions related to customers’ preferences whereas a fuzzy rep...
