| Abstract: | Solar radiation management (SRM) is a geoengineering method that promises to forestall the devastating impacts of climate change by cooling the atmosphere. Although SRM could avert a climate disaster, it also carries the potential to cause numerous, grave, and unequally distributed harms. In fact, some of these harms are unavoidable. A carefully designed liability regime can resolve SRM-related disputes and compensate victims of SRM deployment. This article considers existing international liability regimes in the context of the practical and normative challenges posed by SRM to offer recommendations for an international liability regime to govern SRM. |
