A Conversation About Climate and Solar Geoengineering

Bell Hall (B-500), Harvard Kennedy School 79 JFK Street, Cambridge, United States

As the climate continues to change, discussions about climate policy also continue to evolve. Recognition of worsening climate impacts is giving rise to new conceptualizations of the problem and new proposals for managing and reducing risks. The recent report Reducing the Risks of Climate Overshoot from the Climate Overshoot Commission, chaired by Pascal Lamy, puts the notion of climate overshoot at the center of the debate, and recommends a number of actions, including related to solar geoengineering, to reduce the likelihood, magnitude, and duration of overshoot. Join us for this fireside chat featuring Pascal Lamy and Larry Summers, who will discuss the contents of this new report—including its treatment of solar geoengineering—in the context of preparations for the upcoming COP28 in Dubai and broader trends in climate policy and politics.
