Strategic Trade-offs of Geoengineering

Climate change and biodiversity loss are driving growing interest in emerging technologies designed to manage environmental change. From geoengineering and mesopelagic fishing to novel conservation interventions, these technologies create new challenges for global governance. How do countries coordinate when preferences over environmental outcomes differ? Do technological solutions weaken incentives for mitigation? And under what conditions can international institutions, pledges, and agreements sustain cooperation? This project is funded by the NWO XS grant 406.XS.01.073.
