This media roundtable was recorded at AGU's 2024 Annual Meeting on 10 December 2024.
Join experts in climate science, ethics, and policy for a media roundtable on establishing a set of globally recognized ethical principles for climate intervention research.
At COP29, AGU’s delegation and its partners actively engaged with a diverse audience—including researchers, scientists, governments, nongovernmental organizations, philanthropic institutions, and the private sector—to promote and foster meaningful dialogue on the Ethical Framework Principles for Climate Intervention Research.
Released in October, the framework provides comprehensive guidelines to ensure climate intervention research is conducted responsibly, transparently, and equitably. The framework was facilitated by AGU and advised by a global panel of experts and draws on ethical precedents established in other emerging fields with unknown consequences, such as biomedical research and genetic engineering, to guide research, funding, and policy proposals.
Highlights:
Key takeaways from the report
Upcoming actions and key considerations for progressing the Framework both domestically and internationally
Panelists:
Lisa J. Graumlich, President, AGU
Janice R. Lachance, Interim CEO and Executive Director, AGU
Margaret Leinen, Director, Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Vice Chancellor for Marine Science, UC San Diego; Ethical Framework Advisory Board Member
