Better governing the global commons: climate, biodiversity, oceans, outer space
The Degrees Modelling Fund
- The DEGREES Initiative
- International
- 2021
- Scale-up project
Project and organization presentation
Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) is a controversial proposal for reducing some of the impacts of climate change by reflecting a fraction of sunlight away from the Earth. Developing countries should play a central role in global efforts to understand SRM, yet most research and discussion have taken place in the world's wealthiest nations. The Degrees Modelling Fund (DMF) builds the capacity of developing countries to evaluate SRM. It supports scientists in the Global South as they study how SRM could affect their regions, enabling research projects in South America, South Asia, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. By building a collaborative global community of experts, the DMF is transforming the environment in which decisions about SRM will be made, ensuring informed representation from climate-vulnerable regions.
Project trajectory over the past year
Over the last year, the Degrees Initiative has scaled up its programmes, awarding $900,000 in new grants to support Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) research in the Global South. Our Degrees Modelling Fund (DMF) is now supporting 25 projects, with 150 scientists in over 20 developing countries as they model the potential regional effects of SRM. The long-term goal: to transform the environment in which decisions about SRM are made, to ensure climate-vulnerable countries play an active role.Impact
The DMF is changing the face of SRM research around the world. So far we have supported 25 projects, 150 global south scientists, and allowed for modelling research in over 20 developing countries.Follow the project leader on social media:
