That\u2019s why EDF is embarking on an ambitious research program to learn more about SRM and its potential impacts. It is critical that decision makers and the public have a better understanding of the potential implications of deploying SRM before it is seriously considered.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This work does not mean EDF supports deployment of SRM or other geoengineering strategies. However, these ideas may be increasingly considered in the next few decades, so it\u2019s essential we understand the potential impacts. We need solid scientific information that\u2019s accessible to decision makers in all countries to form the basis of future decisions about the use of this technology.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What is SRM?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">SRM involves reflecting incoming radiation back into space to reduce the Earth\u2019s temperature. Proposed methods include injecting aerosols into the stratosphere among others. SRM would only be a temporary fix, not a way to address the root causes of climate change or other impacts like ocean acidification. But proponents argue that these methods are a way to cool the planet until emissions reduction efforts have had a chance to stabilize the climate at levels that are acceptable, something that might take decades.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:120,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">And while scientists and researchers are actively looking at a variety of potential ideas, we still don\u2019t know how effective they would be, how feasible they are to deploy, or their potential unintended consequences.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:120,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">That\u2019s where EDF comes in.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:120,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Longstanding Role in SRM research<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:120,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">EDF has been involved in SRM for more than a decade, primarily through our co-chairing and support of the Solar Radiation Management Governance Initiative, which focused on governance structures around this research.
