The Possible Effects of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) on Climate Change Mitigation

Introduction Climate change is among the most significant environmental challenges currently facing the world. Climate change refers to long-term changes in weather patterns that have far-reaching consequences such as increased drought, flooding, more frequent and severe natural disasters, and emotional stress on people, among others. Solar Radiation Management (SRM) has emerged as a potential means of mitigating the effects of climate change. This strategy involves altering the levels of solar radiation that reach the earth's surface by either reflecting back some of this radiation or reducing the amount of energy that Earth traps. This article, therefore, seeks to explore the possible effects of SRM on climate change mitigation. SRM and Climate Change Solar Radiation Management is a means of managing the amount of solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface as a way of mitigating climate change. SRM techniques seek to regulate the amount of solar energy that the earth tr...
