SRM Hub Crawl: Building a Community for Responsible Solar Reflective Methods Research and Governance

​What if we could turn down the heat—literally? ​Join the Chesapeake Climate Action Network during New York Climate Week for a fun, fast-paced Solar Reflective Methods (SRM) Hub Crawl, exploring the science, possibilities, and big questions surrounding emerging approaches that could reflect a small amount of sunlight and temporarily cool the planet. ​While you eat and drink, hop between hubs for conversations with scientists, advocates, and climate thinkers working to research and understand these SRM technologies. ​Expect big climate questions, fresh ideas, good conversations, and plenty of NYC energy as we explore: ​What are solar reflective methods? ​What does the research tell us? ​Could these approaches ever complement emissions cuts and adaptation? ​Who gets to decide whether and how research moves forward? ​How can communities have a meaningful voice in the conversation? ​This isn’t a deployment pitch—and it’s definitely not a science lecture. It’s a chance to get curious, ask hard questions, and imagine what responsible climate research and governance could look like while having great food and drinks! ​Come for the science. Stay for the conversation. Leave with a few new questions.
