Reducing the Risks of and the Risks from Temperature
Overshoot: According to the IPCC, the world is now more likely
than not to overshoot the 1.5C temperature goal. The real
question now is how long this overshoot will last, and how high
will it go?
=> Can you describe the state of climate change in terms of
current impacts, the world’s response, and where we are
heading?
=> Given the situation you have described, what should one do
about his? Is the solution an engineering issue? Do we need new
technologies? Is there a silver bullet?

As a specialist of mobility and
transport sector, with a focus on
socio-economics, how can the so
called “theory of nudges” applied in
the transport sector is also applicable
to Climate Governance so that it
generates substantial needed
changes? Can you explain how
gamification in the urban context is
implemented in the transport sector?

As someone working with climate
governance focused on SRM what do
you perceive as the most significant
governance gaps?
And what steps from your
perspective can be taken to ensure
that the voices of youth are not only
heard but also effectively integrated
into Climate action governance?
About SRM and SRM Youth Watch
Solar Radiation Modification

Temporarily limiting global warming by enhancing
Earth’s reflectivity
• Solar Radiation Modification Youth Watch initiative aims to

prepare young people from all backgrounds and regions,
especially the Global South, to have a seat at the future
decision-making tables on SRM governance.
Governance of SRM Research
• Should SRM be researched? If so, who pays for it
and what can be done so that it doesn't distract the public
and politicians from the task of cutting emissions of GHGs?
• Moral Hazard: Consideration as ‘a quick technological fix’
• Moral Imperative: Right to Information

Governance Gaps
• No existing international framework for/about SRM
research and deployment
• Difficult co-evolution of SRM research and governance
• Global South involvement, transparency, …

Perspectives for International Governance
• Building on existing international institutions
(UNFCCC, CBD,…) and laws (Law of the Sea, Montreal
Protocol, …)
• Ensuring a better integration of researchers in SRM

governance and decision-making
• Adopting a “risk-risk” analysis

Youth involvement and Global South
• Capacity Building
• Foster a sense of ownership and responsibility towards these

technologies
• More informed and engaged public
• Ensuring research is conducted in a way that is transparent,

inclusive and accountable

Climate Governance:
Review of Climate Change Governance in Portugal and Colombia
Recently, Portugal and Colombia have developed robust policy frameworks,
national adaptation strategies, plans, and indicators to monitor their
progress in responding to climate change.
Making a comparison, using the Notre Dame-Global Adaptation Index (ND-
GAIN), Portugal appears to be in a relatively better position in terms of
readiness and governance, suggesting stronger political stability and
government integrity.
The significance of multilevel climate governance, emphasizes that effective
urban planning is not only a challenge but also a crucial opportunity for
climate adaptation in both nations, where engineers have many important
contributions on this field.
