Climate engineering
- Submission status

Anthropogenic climate change has led to sea level rise and increasingly extreme weather events, including droughts, floods, and heatwaves. Climate change threatens oceanic and terrestrial ecosystems worldwide, disproportionately affecting those living in developing nations through food insecurity, mortality from extreme weather, and vector-borne diseases. As greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, climate engineering, including carbon dioxide removal and management of solar radiation, presents an opportunity to mitigate the disastrous effects of global warming.
This Collection welcomes research on the development, implementation, effectiveness, and potential consequences of climate engineering.
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 13
