The United States: The Global Leader in Climate Intervention Research
The US is currently the only country deploying aircraft into the stratosphere for climate research. SRM projects have bipartisan support in Congress, though budgets remain in the single-digit-million-dollar range.
In 2020, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) established the Earth’s Radiation Budget (ERB), a comprehensive research effort to study the scientific foundations and impacts of SRM approaches. Although its budget is modest, it has more than doubled since its inception.
Other countries and bodies, including China, the United Kingdom, the European Commission, and Australia, are also conducting experiments to explore the potential of SRM techniques.
