The ultimate measure of success for communicating research into climate change and energy is that global emissions should be falling. Unfortunately, emissions are rising at levels previously never thought of.
Asher Minns discusses communicating climate change.

“Future Earth will be solution-oriented research. It wants to offer a fresh look on global change issues by bringing together researchers from a range of disciplines and working more closely with society. I’m excited to be part of it and help shape future research for Future Earth”, said Professor Le Quéré.

Amidst insufficient mitigation efforts deliberate large-scale interventions in the Earth’s climate system, known collectively as ‘geoengineering’, have been proposed in order to moderate anthropogenic climate change. Geoengineering proposals can be broadly classified amongst Solar Radiation Management (SRM) and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) variants. +
