Abstract: Models are currently being outlined for governance of early research on Solar Radiation Management (SRM), a form of geoengineering. SRM includes techniques that decrease the earth's and its atmosphere's absorption of solar energy such as adding ‘light-scattering aerosols to the upper atmosphere’ and ‘increasing the lifetime and reflectivity of low-altitude clouds’ (Keith, Parson & Morgan, 2010, p. 426). If implemented, the global effects of such SRM solutions will in some fashion impact everyone. Indigenous peoples, among other populations, are right to be concerned about how governance plans unfold.
