These systems involve deploying aerosols, such as sulfur dioxide, into the stratosphere to reflect a small percentage of sunlight back into space. Unlike traditional geoengineering proposals, these are designed to be highly adaptive, dynamically adjusting aerosol type and deployment based on real-time climate data and regional needs to precisely manage global temperatures.

Why It Matters

Offers a rapid, albeit temporary, method to mitigate the most severe impacts of global warming, buying time for more permanent decarbonization efforts. It could prevent tipping points and protect vulnerable ecosystems and populations from extreme heat and weather events.
