Sign in to saveAlso known as climate engineering, climate intervention
Geoengineering (also known as climate engineering or climate intervention) is the deliberate large-scale interventions in the Earth’s climate system intended to counteract human-caused climate change. The term commonly encompasses two broad categories: large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation modification (SRM). CDR involves techniques to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and is generally considered a form of climate change mitigation. SRM aims to reduce global warming by reflecting a small portion of sunlight (solar radiation) away from Earth and back into space. A

Geo-engineering is het opzettelijk grootschalig ingrijpen in de natuurlijke systemen van de aarde, met als doel klimaatverandering, en meer specifiek de opwarming van de aarde tegen te gaan. Dit wordt ook wel klimaatengineering genoemd, omdat deze term duidelijker maakt dat de bedoelde technologieën ingrijpen in het klimaatsysteem. Het betreft ingrijpende maatregelen die direct effect hebben op grootschalige systemen.
