- Summary:
- "This book discusses the governance of solar geoengineering. It is primarily descriptive: How is solar geoengineering governed? It is secondarily analytical: What are the opportunities and challenges? And tertiarily, it is prescriptive: How should solar geoengineering be governed? Although it largely concerns law, a substantial portion of governance is done through nonlegal means, such as norms, principles, codes of conduct, private regulation, and self-regulation. Governance is further shaped by politics, ethics, and economics. Outdoor activities, especially large-scale research and deployment, are more consequential and controversial, and thus receive more attention. Given that these would have transboundary if not global effects, international relations and international law come to the forefront"-- Provided by publisher.
