CSAR lecture: Beyond Net Zero: Can We Repair The Climate?

Climate change arises from a fundamental imbalance in the Earth’s energy budget. While renewable energy technologies are essential for reducing emissions, the slow response of the climate system has led to growing interest in approaches that directly influence how energy is absorbed and reflected by the planet. This talk introduces the concept of climate repair, including methods such as marine cloud brightening, sea ice thickening, and stratospheric aerosol injection. It will explore how these
