Who we are
We lead the world in building the capacity of developing countries to ask – and answer – their own questions on SRM.
The Degrees Initiative is neutral about whether solar radiation modification (SRM) should ever be used, but we are supporters of research that can inform evidence-based, equitable decision making.
