Multiscale Institutional Arrangements

This chapter considers the extent to which cloud seeding governance frameworks attend to the potential for impacts across multiple scalesScale. An examination of multiscale institutional arrangements in AustraliaAustralia, Canada, and the United States shows that cloud seeding laws do not attend to the risks of cross-jurisdictional impacts (interstate and transboundary). If these laws are used as a starting point for regional SRM, greater collaboration between institutions at multiple scalesScale will be needed to govern associated risks. In the event where regional SRM is scaled up, higher level of governments will need to be involved in the assessment and control of programs.
