JUNE 2013 // Kick off meeting of the SPP 1689

DFG Priority Program Climate Engineering (SPP 1689), coordinated by the Kiel Earth Institute

Climate Engineering – the planetary-scale intentional intervention in the climate system to counter global climate change and its side effects – is gaining importance in scientific and public discussions around the world. Against this background, the German Research Foundation (DFG) initiated a priority program (SPP 1689) on examining the risks and side effects of climate engineering. The Kick off meeting was held on June 3-4, 2013 at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
