GENIE team publishes new article in PLOS Climate

In 2022, members of the CET traveled to Australia as part of the GENIE project, which is researching how geoengineering can help mitigate climate change. The purpose of the trip to Australia was to explore different radical climate protection pathways that are being implemented to protect the climate.

In 2022, members of the CET traveled to Australia as part of the GENIE project, which is researching how geoengineering can help mitigate climate change. The purpose of the trip to Australia was to explore different radical climate protection options that are being implemented to protect cherished ecosystems, like the Great Barrier Reef. In a new paper published in PLOS Climate, the GENIE team explores a distinct portfolio of four radical options being implemented to protect coral reefs and tropical forests in Australia. The paper takes a deeper look at adaptation via assisted evolution, regional solar geoengineering, forest and ecosystem restoration, and carbon removal. During the trip, the team visited the Great Barrier reef in northeastern Australia.
