DSG Webinar: What Journalists Need to Know About Solar Geoengineering [17]

Solar geoengineering is receiving growing attention, bringing a complex and still-evolving field into wider public conversation. Journalists face a difficult reporting challenge: how to cover a field marked by scientific uncertainty, potentially far-reaching risks, uneven governance and sharply different views about whether and how research should proceed. On September 1, the Alliance for Just Deliberation on Solar Geoengineering (DSG), together with Solutions Journalism Network-trained journalist Yessenia Funes, will host a free, interactive webinar designed to help journalists navigate this challenge with more context.
