The North American and Arctic Defence and Security Network publishes geoengineering policy primer authored by WatCISL member Burgess Langshaw Power
Geoengineering, the Climate Threat, and the Canadian Arctic
The rapid development of climate altering technologies, also known as climate interventions, or geoengineering is a direct response to the rapidly increasing impacts of climate change. However, the implications of deploying geoengineering are still largely uncertain. For Canada this is an especially important area for further research, given the importance of the Arctic, both from the perspective of climate impacts, and potential for deployment of geoengineering technologies.

Canada must act immediately to understand the development of these emergent technologies and take a proactive hand in international leadership
