New GENIE article - Climate change interventions at the “top of the world”: Exploring risk-risk tradeoffs in coastal protection and forest carbon removal in Alaska
by Benjamin Sovacool 27 Jan '26

27 Jan '26

Hi all, Last year, I went to Alaska for original field research in the Arctic circle with Indigenous groups and forest managers, supported partly by GENIE and by a Sloan Foundation grant with Holly Buck. The paper offers some sobering critiques of carbon forestry as well as coastal protection. I have the citation as follows, PDF attached for ease of reference.

FW: New themed collection on ‘Solar Radiation Management’ now online

Solar Radiation Management (SRM), or solar geoengineering, refers to emerging climate techniques aimed at reflecting some of the sunlight back into space to reduce global temperatures. Understanding the mechanisms and potential impacts of SRM, as well as the broader field of solar geoengineering, can refine climate models, leading to more accurate projections of their efficacy and risks. SRM has the potential to reduce climate impacts globally, yet it also carries significant risks and uncertainties.
