This paper contemplates the possible role of geonegineering as a climate change mitigation tool, particularly in two categories – solar radiation management (SRM) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR). The text’s author also explores 1) the connection between climate change and human rights, focusing on how geonegineering might pose a threat to the right to food, health, water, and life, and 2) the ways to operationalize relevant protections under the Paris Agreement, but within a larger, human rights-based approach to climate governance.
