Putting developing countries at the centre of the SRM conversation

Putting developing countries at the centre of the SRM conversation

About us

For over a decade, the Degrees Initiative has led the world in building the capacity of developing countries to evaluate solar radiation modification (SRM).

The use or rejection of SRM could be one of the biggest decisions humanity has faced, and this matters most to climate-vulnerable regions. 

The world is going to need much more research if it’s going to make informed decisions about SRM, and a much broader conversation if it’s going to make equitable decisions.

What we do

Our mission is to change the global environment in which SRM is evaluated, ensuring informed and confident representation from developing countries. We achieve this through:

Outreach

Engagement workshops in the Global South, in partnership with local organisations, expands critical discussion of SRM

Research

The Degrees Research Funds empower scientists in the Global South to ask their own questions and develop their own expertise

Community-building

Community-building activities which promote South–South and South–North connection and collaboration
