Part 7/9:
The prospect of deliberately intervening on such a planetary scale raises profound ethical questions. Since the Earth's climate system affects everyone, the authority to decide on geoengineering must involve global consensus. How do we ensure that decisions are evidence-based rather than driven by political or economic interests?
Additionally, the climate-vulnerable countries, often least responsible for emissions but most affected by climate change, must have a voice in these discussions. The pursuit of geoengineering should not bypass international justice but serve as part of a broader effort involving emission reductions, adaptation, and fairness.
