The Degrees Initiative is changing how the world evaluates solar radiation modification (SRM), also known as solar geoengineering.
If the world reaches a point where leaders must decide whether to use SRM to reduce climate impacts, they will need trusted experts to advise on risks, benefits, trade-offs and governance.
For over a decade, Degrees has led the world in building the capacity of developing countries to ask their own questions and do their own research, ensuring informed and confident representation in global discussions. We fund research, run engagement workshops and build communities, creating networks of independent experts.
