By focusing on an SRM method with global, transboundary and uncertain effects, this report also examines its potential to become integrated into security logics and power dynamics.

This report seeks to broaden the analysis of SRM beyond its geophysical effects. It therefore looks beyond SRM’s climate objectives to explore how this sector raises geopolitical issues shaped by dependencies and struggles for influence.

In the context of accelerating climate change, scientific and political discourses advocating research into solar geoengineering are multiplying. SRM, vary in complexity and aim to lower the global surface temperature by reflecting a portion of incoming sunlight back into space.

🎥 Climate change in US military doctrine Sherri Goodman, Vice Chair of the United States’ International Security Advisory Board, discusses the measures taken by the United States to adapt to climate change and strengthen its armed forces’ resilience ⤵️ youtube.com/watch?v=u2bXVSMJ…

The conversation also looked beyond risks and vulnerabilities, exploring how climate action can contribute to resilience and become a catalyst for peace and cooperation.

👥Bringing together representatives from the United Nations, the French defence community and the international climate policy sphere, the discussion explored how climate change is increasingly intertwined with geopolitical tensions, conflict dynamics and security.
