This short briefing by Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL)  highlights language from recent reports and expert statements in the field of human rights as they concern geoengineering technologies. Geoengineering technologies – carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar geoengineering or solar radiation modification (SRM technologies) – pose significant, unprecedented risks to a wide range of human rights. These risks disproportionately affect vulnerable and marginalized communities, and the technologies remain largely unproven and infeasible at scale. Understanding these human rights implications is crucial for any informed discussion on geoengineering research or governance.
