Summary/Abstract
This Royal Society report presents an independent scientific review of the range of geoengineering methods, which includes carbon dioxide removal techniques, with the aim of providing an objective view on whether geoengineering could play a role in addressing climate change and under what conditions. The report introduces the key policy questions surrounding geoengineering that the international community needs to confront, and outlines initial steps toward addressing them. The report ultimately concludes that decisions about potential deployment would need coordinated consideration by several international Conventions: and that among these it may be appropriate for the UNFCCC to take on a leading role.
