As climate change intensifies across the planet, attention is turning toward technologies that offer novel ways to decarbonize our economy and our atmosphere. These include options for capturing, storing, and reusing carbon, and geoengineering techniques that directly manipulate the Earth’s climate and environment. These methods may provide a critical boost to our attempts to achieve ambitious climate goals.

Yet, these solutions are not without their critics, who warn about unforeseen environmental and social repercussions.

Join this lively discussion regarding some of the most promising emerging climate technologies, the associated risks, and the urgency of these strategies within the scientific community.
