Potential ecological impacts of climate intervention by reflecting sunlight to cool Earth Open
As the effects of anthropogenic climate change become more severe, several approaches for deliberate climate intervention to reduce or stabilize Earth’s surface temperature have been proposed. Solar radiation modification (SRM) is one pote…

Select but diverse countries are reducing both climate vulnerability and CO2 emissions Open
Mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adaptation to climate risk are two essential ingredients of climate change policy. Both are needed and co-benefits may exist. Yet, mitigation and adaptation are not usually pursued together.…

Quantifying and assessing the need and potential for assisted migration Open
Assisted migration (AM) has been suggested as a conservation strategy for aiding species to reach newly suitable locations as climate changes. The magnitude of decrease in range size and the extent of emerging new areas can be used to guid…
