Introduction

The Introduction provides the rationale for the book. The ongoing failures of the international climate regime have spurred attention in solar radiation management (SRM) to counteract global warming. These emerging technologies carry risks, however, and will require the development of appropriate governance frameworks. Cloud seeding is an established technology that provides a useful analogue for SRM governance, but the relevance of cloud seeding law for regional SRM governance has been unduly overlooked. Using adaptive governance, the assessment of cloud seeding domestic laws can provide lessons for regional SRM governance.
