Gardiner, Stephen M. (2013): Why geoengineering is not a ‘global public good’, and why it is ethically misleading to frame it as one

Gardiner, Stephen M. (2013): Why geoengineering is not a ‘global public good’, and why it is ethically misleading to frame it as one. In: Climatic Change. DOI 10.1007/s10584-013-0764-x

"This paper argues that the paradigm example of geoengineering—stratospheric sulfate injection (hereafter ‘SSI’)—does not fit the canonical technical definition of a global public good, and that more relaxed versions are unhelpful."

Hanafi, Alex; Hamburg, Steven P. (2013): The Solar Radiation Management Governance Initiative: Advancing the International Governance of Geoengineering Research

Hanafi, Alex; Hamburg, Steven P. (2013): The Solar Radiation Management Governance Initiative: Advancing the International Governance of Geoengineering Research. Opinion Article (‘Geoengineering Our Climate?’ Working Paper and Opinion Article Series, 1).

"The most difficult issues lie in the areas of ethics, politics, and governance.  As communities and policymakers around the world face the risks presented by a rapidly changing climate, understanding the scientific, ethical, and governance issues at the core of geoengineering research will be critical to making informed decisions about response options."
