Description:
Research on SRM has largely been from developed nations and their pioneering work over the last decade has advanced the research, policy and social spaces to where they are today. However, developing nations have historically had relatively little input into broader research and discussions on the theme. Given the global south is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and, as some recent papers suggest, climate intervention strategies, it is imperative to entrain and develop the capacity of researchers from developing nations to contribute their unique perspectives in research, discursive and practical spaces concerning SRM. Given this imperative, why are developing nations so under-represented in the SRM / climate intervention community, especially considering how highly vulnerable they are to climate change and potentially to climate interventions? Through a series of meetings we posed the following questions to understand the reasons behind this, and what might be done to remedy this: Why have developing nations generally not been involved in SRM research? Why is the perspective of developing nations important in this discussion? What factors hinder developing nation actors from participation in this research? How can we overcome these barriers and entrain more developing nation researchers into SRM research? In this paper we report on responses to these questions and make practical suggestions for potential entrainment of southern researchers into SRM research. We also report on recent initiatives that begin addressing this problem and propose what global research into SRM may look like in ten years.
