THE GOVERNANCE OF RESEARCH
“The report concluded that geoengineering should therefore be researched transparently, responsibly and internationally, whilst also highlighting the complex and serious governance issues that such research raises:
‘the acceptability of geoengineering will depend on social, political and legal issues as much as on scientific and technical factors’
It recommended that the governance challenges of geoengineering should be addressed in more detail, and that the Royal Society should work with international partners to develop norms or a code of practice for research.”
