Geoengineering technologies could become a key tool to be used in conjunction with emissions reduction to limit the magnitude of climate change.  Featuring authoritative, peer-reviewed entries from the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology, this book presents a wide range of climate change remediation technologies. Examines the potential of geoengineering technologies to contribute to the goal of restricting global warming to within 2°C of preindustrial levels Discusses carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation management (SDR) Places the technologies discussed in their proper social, political, and ethical contexts Provides valuable insights for audiences ranging from researchers and  industry experts to policy makers and university-level students. 606 $aEnvironmental geotechnology 606 $aClimate change mitigation 615 0$aEnvironmental geotechnology. 615 0$aClimate change mitigation. 676 $a344.046 701 $aLenton$b Tim$01162253 701 $aVaughan$b Naomi$01755689 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438116703321 996 $aGeoengineering responses to climate change$94192599 997 $aUNINA
