About

Welcome!

The Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment is an initiative of the Global Environmental Politics program in the School of International Service at American University in Washington, DC. We are concerned with the social, political, and legal implications of climate engineering technologies. Our public outreach efforts are guided by the observation that, to date, the conversation about climate engineering’s development, deployment, and implications has been confined to a relatively narrow set of voices. Our goal is to generate space for perspectives from civil society actors and the wider public, to produce a heightened level of engagement around issues of justice, agency, and inclusion.

The Forum for Climate Engineering Assessment works to generate space for perspectives from civil society actors and the wider public, to produce a heightened level of engagement around issues of justice, agency and inclusion. In this effort, we convene and report on meetings, invite written and other contributions from important figures representing the full spectrum of views on geoengineering, and support robust public and civil society interactions.
