Meet the Gen Z engineers changing climate action

Jake Chapman and Yashasvi Raj, PhD students at the Centre for Climate Repair, spoke to Inside Climate News about their experience as young researchers in the field. They are, says Gloria Dickie, "part of a growing wave of Gen Z scientists and engineers across the world pursuing higher education in climate geoengineering, grasping for a feeling of agency as they inherit the woes wrought by older generations."

Recent Article on Inclusive and Evidence Based Approach on Geoengineering

The article argues against a proposed ban on solar geoengineering (SG), advocating for evidence-based research and inclusive global dialogue. It emphasises assessing SG within the broader context of climate risks, distinguishing research from deployment, and ensuring diverse participation to inform responsible and equitable climate policy decisions.
