Listen "Geoengineering: De Facto Environmental Governance and Alternative Future Making"
Episode Synopsis
This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Cody Skahan can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2024/09/geoengineering-de-facto-environmental-governance-and-alternative-future-making/. About the post: In the absence of an appropriate governing institution, de facto governance (i.e., governance that does not proceed through “proper” channels) of geoengineering has occurred through its inclusion in a series of high-level scientific reports without being subjected to in-depth political questioning about how geoengineering will affect or be affected by notions of justice, power, and responsibility. This governance vacuum has excluded youth and Indigenous People (some of which who are also youth) alike from discourses around geoengineering, a common theme in international environmental governance.
