What methods could be used to deliberately modify the climate, and when might we reach a point where such measures would be considered? What is truly possible, and how significant are the risks? Follow the discussion at Think Corner on Tuesday, February 24th, from 5 PM to 6:30 PM.

The Earth’s average temperature is rising at an alarming rate, and the effects of climate change are already visible around the world.

Climate engineering refers to efforts to curb warming through deliberate interventions in natural systems, such as reflecting solar radiation back into space. When might we face a situation where such methods are considered necessary? What is realistically achievable, and what are the potential impacts and risks of different techniques?

The discussion, moderated by Petja Pelli, features Professor and Academician Markku Kulmala from the University of Helsinki and Director General of the ICOS research infrastructure Hannele Laine.
