The current climate change is driven by an increase in greenhouse gases generated by human activities such as the use of fossil fuels, agriculture, and deforestation. There is now universal agreement that global warming of more than 2 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels is harmful and should be avoided. Despite mounting worries about climate change and repeated international efforts to reach an agreement on global CO2 emissions reductions, these have continued to rise. As a result, some commentators have proposed more drastic 'geoengineering' alternatives to traditional mitigation through CO2 emission reductions. Geoengineering is the purposeful intervention in the climate system to prevent man-made global warming.
Our essay's aim is to find solutions against the climate change and to put in place measures promoting appropriate governance of research activities on this scourge.
